Happy Anniversary

"before a man marries, he's ... like a tree in the forest.
He stands there independent; An entity unto himself.
Then he's chopped down, loses his branches and bark.
Lands in the river. Then he's taken to the mill.
When he comes out, he's no longer a tree.
He's the vanity table, the breakfast nook, the baby crib,
and the newspaper that lines the garbage can."

Brad Allen, Pillow Talk

Thanks Cody, for cutting off your branches and becoming the newspaper that lines the garbage can, for me.
