To Her, With Love

     Since this is a blog about my CF journey designed in part to keep driving me toward the goal of writing a book, I have and will continue to avoid making these posts about giving advice.  But I make an exception here because, as of today, I have been married for 11 years, which qualifies me speak on this subject.  My advice to my friend who got married a week ago today, and to any couple, is that expressing your gratitude for the things your spouse does, from the small everyday chores, to the major tasks, is a cornerstone of marriage.  It sounds simple, because it is simple.  But it is the simplest aspects of a relationship that can be overlooked, taken for granted, or lost under the stress of everyday life.  So, today, I dedicate this paean to Kayla Green, who has made my life better in ways that I can't adequately express.  But that won't stop me from trying.
