Wow! How?

I have just realised that we are fast approaching our 8th wedding anniversary. EIGHT YEARS!! That's incredible. And it also means, if my maths and my memory are working correctly, that Philippa and I have been together for nearly 13 years. THIRTEEN YEARS!! That, too, is incredible, and is a real testament to who she is as a person. Can you imagine putting up with THIS every day for more than a decade? Re-read my early blog postings and tell me if YOU would have wanted to take on that car crash of a person as a partner...  

And now here we are. It's more than a decade later, our love has done nothing but deepen, and so much has changed for the better. She is fast approaching being qualified as a physical therapist, I finally have a job I enjoy and feel proud of, we have two amazing, beautiful boys that fill our lives with noise and joy, and there seems to be no sign on either side that we're getting fed up with it all. God, I do love her.
