TJ’s haiku prompt this week,

Drift

Another prompt where I realised I had a great photo! A couple of years ago we were playing at the park along the River Thames in our town. Lil Man had a new football to play with… but not for long! A hard, powerful kick sent the ball soaring into the water, and the current was pretty strong, carrying the ball away forever… drifting off into the sunset!

drift

Unable to save
Little sphere floating away
Set adrift somewhere

Constantly climbing
Finally, an open door
I can see the light

Fifteen years ago today, I woke extra early.

I was primped and preened to perfection and dressed as a bride… your bride.

Five years, we had been waiting, to make this official, and finally the day was here.

It flew.

A magical day where I felt like a Princess, finally swept off her feet by her Prince Charming.

And the last fifteen years have flown equally fast.

Two beautiful children, one fur baby, our own home, and each other.

What more could I want?

Nothing more.

Just many more years, like the ones we have already spent together.

Wishing a Happy 15th Anniversary to my darling Hubby Dearest. I love you soooooo much, and feel blessed to have you by my side 💖
