The Same As Yesterday

“You’ve been married for 35 years!” a young couple asked an old couple on their anniversary. “That’s amazing…That’s so great!” “After 35 years together…how will you celebrate?” Then this old couple, who in their 35 years together had grown old and gray…held hands, smiled at one another and said…“The same as yesterday!” “I almost lost him years ago.” The old woman said. “And we decided from that date…every day we wake up together… is a day to celebrate.” “It may sound corny…or boring…a little dull…perhaps cliché but why would we wait for once a year…when we can celebrate every day?” We learned a valuable lesson from that old couple… How we don’t have to wait… How every day that we’re together…is a day to celebrate.” Now, after 35 years…we’re that old couple who together have grown old and gray… who, when asked how we intend to celebrate say…“The same as yesterday.” In case you’re wondering how we celebrated another day together we have reached… It was with grouper nuggets, she crab soup… followed by a vanilla malted and chocolate milk shake together…at the beach.
