The night of my marriage just shy of 24 years ago I accidentally left for my honeymoon without my wedding lingerie. I had some really nice pieces that my lady friends had chosen just for the occasion. Instead we were at Wal-Mart looking for panties and such I would wear over the next week. It was hysterical. I am the only bride I know who wore bloomers around her new husband during their honeymoon. Too funny really...at least I can laugh at it now.
I have forgotten a lot over the years, especially when I am over-extended or over-stressed. I remember the times (several) that I left my smart key to my vehicle at home. When the key is not near the car and you turn the car off it will not start again. I can't tell you the number of times I had to call my husband to rescue me from somewhere because the key to the car was nowhere in sight. Each time he came like a knight on a white horse scooping me up and riding me side saddle back home. Those times I would fish out the really nice lingerie to say "thank you".
Not to mention at least a dozen times over these two decades I have lost my glasses or forgotten where I put them. I stop time when this happens. I make everyone around me stop whatever they are doing to help me look. I am too vain to have the glasses on a chain around my neck. Not yet. Too soon I tell myself. But here again I make the finding of my glasses a "project" for my environment including of course my husband.
We have had a long time together. We have been through a lot. Through it all I have lost things, I have forgotten a lot. But one thing I have never forgotten is what brought us together so long ago. I have never forgotten that feeling I had when our eyes locked at that house party. I have never forgotten the love we share for life and for one another. I have never lost the goose bumps I get when he enters the room.
Now where did I put my glasses? Better yet, I need to make a run to Wal-Mart.
