One

One year ago I made the best decision of my life – I married Bird.

Despite tremendous hardships, illness, tears an an unruly herd of cats we have made it 365 days. I feel overwhelmed every time I look at this amazing man and realize that of all the women in the world, he chose me. Despite my ability to fill a year with lengthy posts on food, cats, travels and moldy oranges, I find myself  with only one word when I think of our first year: perfect.

I love you Bird. Happy anniversary.

Song (Wintah, summah, snow er shine)

BY PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR

Wintah, summah, snow er shine,

   Hit’s all de same to me,

Ef only I kin call you mine,

   An’ keep you by my knee.

Ha’dship, frolic, grief er caih,

   Content by night an’ day,

Ef only I kin see you whaih

   You wait beside de way.

Livin’, dyin’, smiles er teahs,

   My soul will still be free,

Ef only thoo de comin’ yeahs

   You walk de worl’ wid me.

Bird-song, breeze-wail, chune er moan,

   What puny t’ings dey’ll be,

Ef w’en I’s seemin’ all erlone,

   I knows yo’ hea’t’s wid me.
