*A funny thing happened when I got married, I became "and Laura" as in husband and wife. Suddenly everyone was saying his name "and Laura", my mail was coming "and Laura" at first I didn't think anything about it but last night I realized my auto insurance carrier, mine you see, had sent my renewal policy to us with his name on the mail "and Laura". I have had this policy since I was 18 years old. I am 44. You do the math.
So I sit here reminding myself marriage is about becoming a "we" and wondering does that mean I have to totally lose me? Do I become a second thought for the rest of my life? I know I am not in his mind. I know I am not in the dogs mind. I guess that will have to be enough because suddenly apparently the rest of the world has reverted to 1952 and I am only "and Laura".
*some of this is tongue in cheek and some is kind of weird observation
