I held you close today. Thoughts of your man seeing his parents, which is likely all too rare; thoughts of family, how fast familiar; of in-laws and relationships; of grand parents, and, of leaving a place you dearly love for the part of you that lives there still. And I wanted to share a little story: I learned that my man could not see in the dark the night we hiked into the Pecos Wilderness in May to camp. Too dark to set up a tent on a warm, starry night, we tossed our bags down off-trail and snuggled up. He asked me, in the wee hours, to marry him. After several minutes of silence, I said Yes. We woke to a hummingbird hovering over our faces and surrounded by a hundreds of wild irises. Toss a thank you to the north for me. xox
