I was just about to write about this quote from Tennyson and here you are writing it. Great minds think alike! Better you than me as I would not have been able to captured it so good! Thank you!

Oh C.J., sharing those details of your first marriage. Just wow 😔 How difficult it must have been. I love how sweetly you remember the love and wouldn't trade it for anything. This piece reminded me of this quote that we have carved in metal on our wall:

.

"Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go." - T.S. Eliot

.

Risk. To know love is to risk ✨ You could have easily shut down forever. But you didn't. You knew love and desired to know it again. ❤️

Thank you for such a lovely message. ox
