i have just celebrated ten years of marriage to my wife.

our first week married, i would moisturise her dry skin and give her foot rubs and shoulder massages.

our first month married, i would brush her thin, tangled hair and gently kiss her forehead.

our first year married, i had stopped attempting to remove her wedding dress that had fused to her.

our first decade married and i think the smell has finally faded for good.

ten years together, but it feels like it was only yesterday that i dug her up.
