A Love Letter to My Husband 10 Years Later
10 years ago today, I wept as I walked down the aisle to you. I didn’t have tears glistening in my eyes. I didn’t just let a solitary tear drop down my cheek. I wept. I wept long and hard, a gasping for breath type of cry, as I took that short walk on the […]
