Just the Two of Us?
I remember when it was just the two of us. We could be spontaneous and leave town for a couple of days, with no second thought. We could sleep with as little on as we wanted to- there was no one to climb in bed with us in the middle of the night. We could eat ice cream in bed, and no one would know. We could play any kind of game in any room of the house. We could make love in the living room, and not be afraid of being caught.
Now, we can look forward to those things in our future. We can enjoy the lack of spontanaety and revel in the crowd of our family. We can find new ways to play games, and actually follow the written rules. We can lock our bedroom door.
We can build on what we have, and look forward to having it even better when we are alone again.
We can enjoy our children, and the ways they bring us closer to each other.
We will be alone with each other again someday, and we can make plans for then- now.
