I've been trying to write something coherent about the fact that today (Wednesday) is Mary Anne's and my tenth anniversary. But it's been a kind of fragmented week, and the words aren't flowing.<\/p>\n
I'm sitting here in a darkened living room, listening to Kavya restlessly sleep. Soon, I suspect she'll wake up, and I'll feed her, and then move her to M's room for the rest of the night, and go to sleep myself.<\/p>\n
Been thinking lately about all the travel and long-distanceness that's been involved in M's and my relationship; she started out 45 minutes' drive from my place, then moved to Utah in 1999, and to Chicago in 2002. Airplanes, phone calls, emails; visits to each other's homes, meeting up at conventions and workshops.<\/p>\n
Ten years ago today, who would have guessed that after all these flights here's where we'd land? The paths we take are not the ones we'd planned; who knows where wandering hearts will come to rest?<\/p>\n
. . . And that was when Kavya woke up enough to eat a little, and then fell back asleep, so I took her to M's room and then everyone woke up and I changed K's diaper and although she was fairly calm about it, by the end she was wide wide awake. So I rocked her and sang to her for another half-hour or so, and she finally went back to sleep, and now I'd better go sleep too. So I'm not gonna finish the other ten lines.<\/p>\n
But I'll close by saying: Happy anniversary, Mary Anne! I love you.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
