The One Story That Must Remain Unchanged
I felt that nudge
I had just woken from a nap and oddly enough, my first thought was that I should go see my chiropractor. I hadn’t seen him in a while, and although I felt fine, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I should go.
I didn’t think much of it as regular adjustments are good for the body and I was long overdue.
I called his office and I was told to come in today because he is leaving tomorrow to get married. So off I went.
That piece of paper
He adjusts me and as we often do, we chat a bit about life and dancing. And then, he gets up and gently hands me a piece of paper. It looks like a handwritten letter, scribbled in pencil, with things scratched out and added between the lines.
He quietly asks me to read it and give him my thoughts.
It doesn’t take me long to realize what I am reading… because I tear up at the very first sentence.
His wedding vows.
He explains that I am his favorite writer in the world and he wanted my thoughts on what he wrote… for the single most important and beautiful thing he will ever say to another human being.
