Happy anniversary, mamas!

Today I’d like to wish a happy anniversary to two very special ladies, my mamas. They’ve been married 12 years now, and I shudder to think how different my life could have been had they not met.

To hear Mama G tell it, she was never a cat person until she met Mama C, who had a cat named Carrot at the time. Once the two of them locked eyes, it was love at first sight! Mama G and Carrot, I mean. Mama G doesn’t believe in love at first sight among humans, although she admits to being pretty darn smitten the day she met Mama C.

Mama C never really bought Mama G’s I’m-not-a-cat-person mentality, because she noticed that Mama G’s photo albums contained lots of photos of cats … friends’ cats, unknown cats, and even a stray cat that Mama G temporarily adopted during a camping trip. So Mama C knew that cats held a special place in Mama G’s heart all along.

That’s the thing about special relationships, I think: they help you learn about yourself and grow. I’ve learned a lot and grown since I began my special relationship with Those Two, and I’ve never been happier.

Have a great day, mamas!
