1 Mother 2 Another

Sixteen years ago today, I married the boy
I'd been chasing since high school.


One of the best days of my life.


Ten years ago on Sunday, my husband unexpectedly came home early
from work. If he'd lingered longer in his office after the planes
hit - if he'd made a different decision as he was walking away
from the World Trade Center - but he showed up exhausted on our
front door step after no phone calls on his side and too much news
watching on my side.


Also one of the best days of my life.
