The 18th day of May.
Today.
We are nineteen years together.
This house is where we began.
A college party.
The 11th hour. He walked away for the last time....
And then,he came back. And we walked, at dawn, to Sandycove, shy and unbelieving.
At last.
And now,
I have been with him for as many years as I was not.
I am blessed.

What a story...congrats ! I met Sean in college too...
Oh Ciara!
What lovely story and how ROMANTIC...
Look at the two gorgeous and hip lovlies!
I recently heard of a 'GOLDEN BIRTHDAY' which is when your age reaches the day of the month when you were born... I know (I think) that this is not your true "golden anniversary", but maybe, somewhere somehow, it is...
Golden
CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU BOTH...

Congratulations! How lucky you are! I remember when I had been with Daniel for 19 years, also half my life then. I am happy for you!! :) Silke
Dear sweet Ciara, your post made me well up with tears, again.....I loved the part where 'he came back', and think of how often that features in your life, when he heads away, and then his return is so longed for.....
Happy Anniversary.
Michael and I are 11 years together on Sat 23rd.
Hmm.. I should edit...
Reading all your sweet comments I realise I left out the fact that we got married on the same day five years later!!
How could we ever celebrate any other day?
And then five years after that we got married again...
I think that deserves a post itself to explain...!
congratulations! this is so sweet.
