Thanks for dropping in. I wasn't actually trying to be funny when I wrote that, but after reading it again, it is pretty funny (in a gallows humor sort of way). Surely laughter is a merciful gift from God to help us heal.
It'll be nice to be where you are now. You've gotten a year of "firsts" (first holiday alone, first vacation alone, first wedding anniversary that really wasn't, etc.) out of the way. That's been the toughest for me. I do pretty well most of the time, but every now and again, an unexpected first will pop up and hit me right where I live.
You have only one more first. That first anniversary of your D. I guess you could look forward to it in the sense that you'll get it out of the way. However, I understand why you'd look toward it with some trepidation.
