My Day To Celebrate

Today I celebrate a monumental achievement of mine. Back in my teenage years I set my sights on a prize of such worth, I didn't think I'd ever reach the day when it could be mine. I spent years dreaming about it and working towards just earning the right to make it a part of my life. In college I thought I lost it, but I got back on the right track and worked harder than ever to claim this prize.

It finally happened when I was 21 - fourteen years ago. I earned the right to finally hold that prize I had desired for so many years and it was mine. Or so I thought.

Since then I've learned that I never earned it, it was given to me. I've also learned that I can never really posses it, but I'm being allowed to hold it and expected to treasure it. I've also discovered additional prizes that have multiplied five times since I first celebrated my supposed conquest.

My heart's desire is to spend my life with this treasure and the additional gifts that have been added over these past fourteen years. I have what my heart desires and more. Who wouldn't want to celebrate? Especially when you don't deserve it?

Happy 14th Anniversary Lora.
I love you.
