In reading back over my entries here, I was struck by a recent change. 'Susan' has become 'my wife', as if that title suited her. I have always tried to use the proper forms of address here, if no where else, and I admit I have no 'proper' form of address for this young woman.
And I realize I am no longer thinking of her as a 'girl', either.
She has managed to earn my respect, through her actions and integrity. She is still impetuous, but she has learned to temper it with wisdom and knowledge, and has sought knowledge so that she may do so. My mind has, on occasion, speculated on what I should do if she should desire to extend our marriage contract beyond the year and a day.
I find the prospect does not horrify me.
