Reflecting

I wrote this for my youngest sister when she got married. Unfortunately my wife and I could not attend her wedding ceremony. I came across a copy recently and wanted to share it here. It was sent to my sister in the letter with her wedding gift.

Marriage is a robe that is knit by the effort of two people, who wear it together. Sometimes the colors or texture may change, but when well made, it fits comfortably and keeps the warmth in. It is ever changing, and therefore takes a lifetime of effort, and is never truly finished.

If I were to rewrite it today, it would be more succinct, but would still have that message of the "warmth" shared from mutual dedication to the never ending effort that is a happy marriage...
