I have 3 pictures of my wife that I have had in my wallet for almost 18 years. One taken when we first started dating, one the night I went away to college and one of her while she was in college. Each of them hold a special memory for me and I'm not going to explain why because emotionally I'm not ready for that on here.
But, today for the first time since we've been married they are out of my wallet. It may not sound like much, but for me it's a major step in my path to a new life.
Boy was she beautiful. I remember so many wonderful things when I look at these. I'm sad it's over. But I am looking forward towards the future. To new adventures and better times.
