Awww, Dots... did you tear up?

Nothing romantic or exciting with me and mine...
We had been going steady for a little over five years and mutually decided it was time. His older brother had wed a few months prior and their life looked so 'settled,' for the lack of a better word. I think it had always been in my stars to be a wife, even though sometimes [nowadays] I feel I'd like to be free, intermittently anyway. Maybe 'change' is to me, as it is to Kathy... a need being realized.
