Today,...

Today will be a different sort of post; I will not be adding my own images or words, but those of my husband, Stefan.

Today he wrote me 2 beautiful messages as he sat across from me. I, of course, had not idea he was writing me such wonderful and warm words--(I was caught up in other activities and such). He then asked me to go have a look at Shuttermojo, and I did. There, I found these 2 photographs he had taken during a walk we two went on last week, placed sweetly with these words:



"Alone in the fields of autumn, standing strong against the breath of November, waiting, holding, waiting.

Rising high above the ground, brilliant and bold against the sky, see the beauty, see strength, see frailty.

Lips pursed, exhaled wind blows, carries new life in another season, another place...

You breathed upon me and brought new life, Cher. I will love you for all seasons unto the end of the end.

Stefan"




"Season's swift change approaches the mountains, I stand at the window with the knowledge of how our season has changed as well. The freshness is as that of the falling snow now gathering upon a ledge.

Once alone in this world I wandered lost without knowing. Like a single leaf upon the fresh fallen snow, I took on the chill, awaiting season's change. The spring would have left me forgotten as new life begins.

You found me there alone in the cold, brushed away the drift, held me close to your bosom and brought me warmth. You took me home and pressed me between the pages of your life, preserving my soul.

I adore you, Cher and I am happy you chose me to love and to hold.

All I am...

Stefan"

I smiled and went over to him to hold him close and thank him. The scent of his warm neck against my cheek gave me butterflies. I breathed in deeply for a moment to cherish all that he is and gently kissed him. I so love being in his arms, and am fortunate he chose this lil' brat to be his wife! ;)

I love you, Stefan. I love you with all my heart and would marry you 1000 times over again. Grazie, amore mio.
