Sound of Music

My wife and I are sitting in the living room watching the movie the Sound of Music. We are by turns laughing and holding hands. I had forgotten how romantic the movie is. Or, perhaps it is simply that we now look at the movie through the lens of being grandparents. But, maybe it is that I am a Latino sentimentalist. Well, our daughters constantly tease me about having learned to like “chick flicks” from my many years of living with only women in the household.

It has been an enjoyable evening together, doing absolutely nothing, listening to well-remembered songs, and simply being in each other’s presence. After 30 years of marriage, I suspect I can say that the marriage “took.” May He grant my wife and I many more years together.
