Our relationship

"Don't hold on to love too tight for you may strangle it."

  I think we've done a good job at this. It could just be the reason we are still together. Our relationship gives us space to think and feel; it certainly doesn't suffocate us. 

  I know that we both sometimes feel that a part of our relationship started off because of practical conveniences. A part of it, yes. But I think our relationship is exactly what it's supposed to be to the benefit of ourselves, our boys, and those around us. More specifically, we are discovering ourselves more and becoming better, more useful, people. Our boys are steps ahead of us because of our mistakes. Our friends and family know that we are human, that we help each other out. And that's what I think life is--people.
