One evening, I went outside and saw the windows with their lights on. It brought me back to ten years ago, when I had just graduated from college and had been working for about a year. My girlfriend, who is my wife now, and I used to stand under a building, looking up at the windows and dreaming: When would we have a home in the city? We had little money, and homes there were very expensive.
One year later, we bought a home. We were very happy. I finally felt, “I really live here now.”
Tonight, seeing those lit windows made me realize how quickly time has passed. Ten years feels like yesterday. I am very happy now. I have a warm home, a happy family, and a very sweet daughter. My wife remembers those early days too. The dream we once looked up at is now part of our life.
