REFLECTION

Till Death Do Us Part

Seth Haines, my cousin’s husband, gave a great example of the meaning of this commitment. He told the story of a couple he’s friends with in which the husband contracted ALS. The commitment of this couple hit home with me, being there in tough times.

“I hope for a marriage that looks less like a pursuit of passion, sex, communication, or even understanding; I’m hopeful a marriage that looks more like partnering to the death. And in that, I know I’ll find the meaning of love and maybe even life.” Seth Haines

MOLESKINE

Very little MC today, I was worried that mutiny was next. There was no love for the Q today. Although I’m not sure that Dandelion bought into that fact when I said our PAX loves him more based on the MC when he Q’s.

SPOKES – please register (FNG-1 today)

Lots of fun today! Thanks for the accountability pushing each of us to be better men!
