When that first glance becomes seconds of thrilling excitement. When seconds become minutes of gazing into each other’s eyes. Those minutes become hours of laughing at anything.
Then your lingering kiss fills me with warmth for days after.
Those moments become a promise to share a lifetime together.
Then our cherished glances are now gazing into the eyes of our children, where minutes become a balancing act of tears and laughter.
All for the determination to make it last a lifetime…
So if I had to do it over again, I would choose that second chance at your first glance.

Happy Anniversary to my Hubby!
I’m a proud graduate of Rutgers University School of Nursing and a Professional Registered Nurse specializing in Perinatology. When I’m not immersed in the joy of caring for growing families, including my own, you’ll find me reconnecting with the things that ground me — music, reading, and now, writing.
Reading offers me a momentary escape from the demands of my profession, but writing takes me somewhere deeper. It feels like navigating the New York City subway: characters and ideas rush in and out like passengers, some staying only for a moment, others riding with me for miles. There are delays, detours, and unexpected stops, but the journey always leads me closer to the stories I’m meant to tell.
Join me on this literary ride, where words become tracks and characters travel toward moments of challenge, transformation, and unforgettable destinations.
