Still My Prince

November 19, 1983

As the mother of Boys, my own children don't often ask me for relationship advice--I'm not really an expert in matters of the heart. One piece of wisdom, though, I stand by.

"Marriage is not all fireworks and roses, and there will be times when you look at the person you married and think 'Who is this person?'," I told a Boy once. "But if I'm in a crowded room, and your father walks in the door, my heart still jumps a little. Wait for the person who does that for you."

Happy anniversary, Husband.
