what age difference?

People frequently remind me of the oddity of the age difference between Luke and myself. At first, it frustrated me that everyone raised their eye brows instead of waiting to hear the whole story. But when Luke and I are together we have no difficulty relating to one another so it just does not seem to matter.

However! I often find secret delight in magnifying the issue and putting new spins on it. I remind him of how old I will be when I plan his 40th birthday party. I laugh when I consider that I was learning to add and subtract when he was buying a home, attending college, and working full time.

So one Saturday I greeted him at the door with my hair in pig tails. "Hey Handsome, it's your 12 year old courting friend." Ah, I love to laugh, and talk, and pray, and be with this man . . .
