What's real

Here is what's real: Being a life partner with the same person for 25+ years. Worrying about the children and the grandchildren, praying for them together. Wondering where the money will come from, but knowing it will be there. Waiting for the phone to ring that something is wrong with a parent. Walking because I need to, not because he does. Having the same friends.

There are opportunities in life for more flash and excitement. Chances to screw up what's really good for something that only looks good. Always choose the best things over the good things. I'm glad I have.
