PRINCE CHARMING

My dearest Prince Charming!
Here I am writing to you for your birthday...
The last time I wrote to you to memorialize that day...was 43 years ago... I
remember watching your face as you read it...and read it again...
You looked at me
‘With the look I live for!’
5 years ago...we read the letter together...nothing had changed... Not even
your physicality...(and no...no rose colored glasses) Who knew ‘Scientific
American’ was the ideal matchmaker!?
Here we are...nailing life and not permitting it to nail us...
My cancer...your cancer...and we live...we love...cherish each other...
Each day...and the myriad flavors of time with our girls... The gift
they have been to me these last 10 years
You and I have always been a given... Your
mind is still a wonder to me...
How you think...conjure...fly...invent...problem solve...
And there we are...
ALWAYS ON THE SAME PAGE!!!, ALWAYS ON THE SAME WORD...
You make my blood boil!
Our constant conversation...religion...science...evolution...literature... The
philosophers...the Existentialists...
The paucity of candidates for the current ‘political circus’... Our
sorrows and hopes for our world
Standing math on its head...making 2=1
Studying together...being enchanted with and by nature You are
such a sophisticated taste...
You make my blood boil! You
make my mind roil!
You bring out the very best in me... You are
my mitochondria...
You make me tick
