This past Saturday, I got married to an incredible woman. Despite living on opposite coasts of the US for most of the past decade, our relationship grew and deepened over that time. There is no template to love, no flowchart to show "progress" and no single pathway as the makers of "The Game of Life" inscribe upon their boards. While I am happy, the purpose of my post is to remind those who struggle, who have sought without result and suffered hurt in their lives, that things do change - and that the amazing person you seek may not be the most convenient or who best matches our own preconceptions of who the 'right' person for us really is. Be true to who you are, but do not be rigid. The oak grows mighty but alone, drawing both strength and weakness from the lack of flexibility; the reed grows in mixed company, left largely untouched by the wild gale, and becomes stronger when drawn together.

:excitedly taps the side of the wine glass:

Good luck with things, ten years is a long time of knowing one another long distance - if that can work I have a feeling you guys are set.
