Moments

Thirty-one years ago today
I was proposed to in a very fancy Italian restaurant.
At any given time,
memories of that day will flit through my mind,
and my heart,
and I will smile.
It was a horrendous workday
and we came home to news of San Francisco falling apart
but everything in-between was sheer bliss.
Magic.
Beautiful.
A Moment!
Since that day, there have been births and birthdays,
celebrations and graduations,
marriages and journeys and hikes and dinners,
challenges and trials, laughter and excitement,
tears - both of sadness and joy.
Each moments in their own grandeur.
Precious and perfect and preserved in my heart
and etched upon my soul.
Cherished.
Cherish your moments.
