Oh, That's it!

Yesterday she asked, "Do you love me?"

"Yup," I answered, no doubt in my mind.

"How come?"

That's it! I knew that I hadn't stated her regular query properly in the last post.

Her follow-up question always catches me flat-footed, emptying my brain of any rational thought. I have to stop and think, trying to put words to my most recent wave of feeling.

You'd think I could plan ahead.

Me, too.

But in this I am always unprepared.

Hmmm.

Over 25 years the list has grown long and dusty. Finding new things to love and appreciate about her is a constant pleasure and keeps me alert.

I'm happy that she continues to ask.
