She hangs out under the mantle as photos of our relationship’s core sit, above. Seeing her grow, radiate, and wonder is like watching pie crust in an oven. But her taste is sweeter.

This is personal, about the woman who graciously puts up with me. Bono wrote something similar for his long suffering wife. Here’s Sometime You Can’t Make It On Your Own.
Thanks babe! Perfect Post, Perfect Song, Perfect You! Love you…
Zip! I love the twist on mantle, and the romance in the last line.
she really does hang out under the fireplace mantle. There was no dramatic license. Thanks dude.
Wow. I really like how your worked the words in this and ended it with such sweetness. Nicely done, friend!
This was very touching. It’s heart-warming to hear an SO make public declarations of appreciation. Nicely done.
A sweet tribute to your love!
you two.
I love that you have such an open, romantic love for each other. It really comes through your words, Lance. Thank you!
Love it, and love both of you and what you choose to share about your relationship with us. You write fiction well, but with these personal posts, there’s no doubt your words are for real
Lovely.
Aww..love it ofc!Am such a sucker for romance!:-)
I like the approach you took. Isn’t it interesting how it all connects like that!
Nicely put together. A reflection of two, intertwined.
This is beautifully expressed
This is a lovely little image. I can see her sitting and smiling (:
This is so sweet! I like the scene it creates.
Pie crusts make the pies, just as she, your lives. Wonderful!
What a sweet post, and so honest. I think I’ve said it before, but as much as I like your fiction, I do so love it when you write about your life and your family. Each word rings with heartfelt truth. Oh, and this is probably one of my favorite songs ever. Every time I hear it, I tear up. (OK, so I’m a sap…)
Really great! And yeah, Sometimes you can’t make it on your own. Nicely done!
