I admire your honesty in sharing so candidly about the times in your marriage when you were less than your best self, yet always knowing that your marriage was a true blending of souls seeking to help each other reach that better self.

I do think it is easier to see the pain in another who you love than in yourself--at last early on. We do bring baggage.

We did not know what we meant we we first said "I love you" - we did not know that love is more about patience, forgiveness and resiliency than anything else.

I am moved that you could write so eloquently and share your deepest feelings about love on Valentine's Day. Your art speaks volumes as does Rob's. In Freedom Sunrise there is a release of energy. Beautiful colors muted together may have freed Rob of tension as he felt peace swell between the two of you.
