Ninety-four million, six hundred ninety-four thousand, four hundred

Today is special.
 
Yet it does not feel the same as in years past.

It is much like memories of high school and college.
At the time you cannot imagine a future in which it is not the center of your world,
the most exciting thing,
the most important moment.

Years later there are other markers,
other monuments in time that take focus.
It is now one of the sentimental memories like childhood long gone.
It is where you came from,
it warms your heart,
 but the future beckons.

Such is the plight of first dates.
They either become a memory of inconsequential meetings
or the zero marker on a joint journey.

This date will always be special,
but I am so excited to let it fade and become the backdrop
while the focus will shift to celebrating an even more special day.

No matter how you write it,
it feels like forever
and yet a day all at once.

Happy anniversary.

before we were "us."
