This poem reflects my life with my wife, a journey that has stretched across forty-eight years of love, service, and shared resilience. As a military family, we faced both peaceful days and times of conflict, separations, and the storms that life inevitably brings. Yet through every posting, challenge, and changing horizon, we remained side by side. It is a tribute to a bond forged through duty, loyalty, and enduring love that has kept us, quite simply, joined at the hip.
