twice today i realized that today would have been my 25th anniversary. both times it was just an "oh hey" acknowledgment.
i remember the day he left and i truly, literally fell to my knees. i remember thinking i would die. i remember thinking my counselor was wrong - that there would be a day, or many more days that i wouldn't think about him. i remember collapsing in the woman's bathroom at work when i got orders for divorce. the anger when i found out the adulterous betrayal.
and today? i know. know. i am so much better than i was before.
here's to many more years to wholeness, happiness, health, love and full life.
happy anniversary to me.

I always remember the anniversary date of my first marriage, but now it is just, "Oh, today would have been our 30th anniversary" or whatever. I'm much more interested in the actual anniversary my second husband and I are celebrating. That's so much more important.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary to you and your new life.
