Approximately 21,919 days ago, Stephen Felix Grosse was born on 20 November 1959.
It would have been a miracle for us to have met earlier because we grew up in different countries. Moreover, our paths never crossed, when we were children, even though our families were seemingly linked via the wife of my uncle.
That's real life, I guess. Perhaps an earlier connection wouldn't have made a difference or impact. We only met at a time when we were ready to fit in each other's lives.
We are so different yet the same. Often I think unlike poles attract and yet we are also alike.
We had a quiet celebration for his birthday. I did ask if he would have liked a big bash since it was his 60th but he wasn't interested. In this, we are alike. There was no fanfare or party!!! Looks like we don't need a specific day to be happy. On the days that he doesn't work is when we have a date or eat at home and really it is celebration enough. Not just one day here and there but every time that we spend together is special. Yeah, it sounds clichéd but isn't this how it should be!
I had always thought that we would celebrate our 60th year because it is a milestone but somehow it has paled in comparison to becoming grandparents. Having a grand-daughter changed our focus completely! Our conversations are always about Cayla Gail and how important she is to this new chapter of our 60th year!
In fact, she is quite like a 60th year birthday present that keeps growing and growing. We feel so awesomely blessed.
So 2019, thank you for a superb 60th year from two old souls.
