Craig and I made our way over to the edge Pausing to peer into the valley below we stood in silence amazed at how far we had come As if the moment itself was not enough Craig surprised me with a gold charm in the shape of Half Dome He said "This is the first mountain to add to the bracelet I gave you ... "As I held the handcrafted ornament in my hand I was amazed at its likeness It was smooth on the back resembling the famous broken granite face.Craig took a moment to express how proud he was of me saying "When you were really sick and I had to help you up the stairs at night I always looked at the famous Ansel Adams photo of Half Dome hung on the stairway wall and wondered if we do ever make another climb "We had done it we were here at the top of the mountain-a long way from those nights of not knowing what the future would bring
