What are you supposed to call it when an anniversary is no longer a fun day?
Today is that day. It is my wedding anniversary, but my spouse is no longer with me.Today would have been our 33rd anniversary. We were very proud of ourselves for staying together for so many years and were truly looking forward to getting old… together. Unfortunately for me, that is not the case.
So, once again, I find myself contemplating how I should act and what I should do. I worry about my family and friends who want to tip-toe around the subject because they feel bad. They can’t really say “happy anniversary” now can they? But they don’t want to dismiss the important date. It is what it is and quite frankly, I am just going to have to deal with it. This is what life has handed me.
Therefore, I am thinking of doing something for myself on this day each year. Not for anyone else, but me. Since I am just deciding this- I am going to have to plan ahead in the years to come, but for today- I am getting my hair cut! Woo hoo! I may even take myself out for breakfast.(It is something we would do.) After that, I may take a little walk through the woods. Then, I will visit him in the cemetery. Maybe he’ll offer some advice.
As I look out the window, this is just the kind of weather we had on that special day. We had one hell of a celebration and it was an awesome event! I hope that people remember all the fun and laughs we had. The fall colors and the family and friends that were there with us. It really was magnificent.
That is all I have to say about this. I will keep you posted when I decide what I will do on this day down the road or if I found something amazing.
Cheers to 33 Years!
