Vines.

I was really concerned that hubby working second shift would cause us to have a lot of arguments and drift apart.  There have been arguments and misunderstandings aplenty. However, in spite of our physical separation, our mental and emotional connection is so much stronger.  We try our hardest to communicate, and to be the cheerleader when the other is having a rough day or week or several weeks.

I appreciate all the things he is and does for me, us, and our beautiful baby girl.

Our hearts used to be more equitable to parallel lines - going in the same direction together, but separated by a space. Now, I feel they are like vines, intertwined and strong.
