I think I am guilty of not telling my wife as often as I should how much I truly love and appreciate her…I should do this more often. We have been together now for almost 18 years – married for almost 12 – and I have to say it feels only a fraction of that…a few heartbeats long. Love and marriage I’ve discovered takes many evolutions…including a few battles to test worthiness (mostly our own)…and the resolution of our own demons (assuming we truly understand them). I won’t suggest for a minute that it’s all been perfect…but there have been plenty of perfect moments…beautiful and wonderful and life changing moments that have woven the loving blanket that is our marriage – our relationship. We found each other I think by design, some might call it fate but I would call it more the intervention of our souls – a higher and deeper power for sure but more because this is how it is supposed to be. Without exception, ever day I am so very thankful we’ve managed to create this place that is our life, marriage and family…and for whatever mysterious reasons she’s found cause to keep me around…for this and so many other reasons I am truly more in love with my wife than I have ever been. She is beautiful in so many countless ways.

About Lawrence Lewis
I do a number of things professionally...but most of all and the true purpose of what I do through "my work" is to provide for my family, be a good husband and great father, and try to make a difference as a world citizen...I guess it's not much more complicated than that 🙂
