A year ago today Rob arrived in Des Moines to help me finish packing for the move to Alberta and the beginning of our life together. Aside from two nights last December when he and the older girls traveled up to Grande Prairie when his late mother-in-law took ill, we haven’t been apart since and with our first wedding anniversary at the end of the month I thought it appropriate to commemorate today’s mini-anniversary with a song.

Rob first sent me the Mark Knopfler song, A Prairie Wedding, during our long distance days when we were sending each other a half-dozen emails apiece daily and spending our evenings and nights either IMing or on the phone with each other. It’s an appropriate tune for us because like the couple in the song we only knew each other by our words for a while in the beginning and we came to know and love each other through their strength.

The assignment for today, should you choose to participate, is to share a song that has meaning for you for whatever reason. 

I am looking forward to seeing, reading about, or hearing your choices. Don’t forget to link back.
