Still A Mystery

While talking about gifts, it clicked them that they have not opened Aunt Alison’s gift yet. Many years had passed by and that particular gift was still sitting in one corner of their cupboards gathering dust. The pair was glad that they had managed to keep the box closed but maybe now was the time to open it up. They wanted to know what was inside it.

9 Years Later

Kathy explained, “We were talking about how excited we were to attend an upcoming wedding in Kalamazoo (where we met and went to college) and discussing what would be the perfect gift for the newlyweds. So, I thought back to our wedding day (nearly 9 years ago) and tried to recall the gifts that had meant the most to me.” 

Fun Story

It was nothing short of an achievement for the duo. That gift had touched their heart the most and “The funny thing? The gift that meant the very most [to me] was still sitting in a closet… unopened.” Kathy wrote down in her post. 

Honest Confession

While talking about her relationship with her husband Kathy made it clear that their marriage is nothing different than other marriages. It was not that they did not have fights in the past 9 years but nothing too bad had happened. 

Symbol Of Failure

Kathy said, “now, there had obviously been plenty of disagreements, arguments and slammed doors throughout our nine years [together]. There were even a couple of instances where we both considered giving up… but we never opened the box. I honestly think that we both avoided turning to the box because it would have symbolized our failure.”

Was It Time?

The woman continued, “To us, it would have meant that we didn’t have what it takes to make our marriage work – and we’re both too stubborn and determined for that. So, it forced us to reassess situations.” Were they now ready to open the box?
