Today was her birthday, and we had a great day. It started with all the right touches — a lei, coffee, extra affection. Then we drove south for beers on the beach and lunch on the water at a new restaurant from her hometown that recently opened a new location in Hawaii.
Then we went to another beach for champagne. That’s when we realized that we still share a great passion for each other. I wish we could have that every day.
When we got home in the late afternoon, our passion was replaced by parenthood, and that’s when we realized that it’s still there, but oh so dormant.
