Commentary:

Happy anniversary to me and Liz -- 22 years!

It seems at once a lifetime ago and just like yesterday. So many people who were there (and there weren't many!) are no longer with us: grandparents, parents, and some who died way too young. 

I feel amazingly lucky to have married the love of my life.
