Waiting

Tonight is the night. It has been a long wait. Almost five years.

I can finally feel the butterflies in the stomach. I have been feeling them for about ten minutes now.

And, the palpable relief. As of a marathon runner who does not have to put one step in front of another, any more.

And, the excitement. For us, and our life as man and wife. And, for her. New place. New work. New life.

A new phase. A positive change. A fresh beginning. A little bit at a time.
