Just in case anyone was wondering how the anniversary turned out:

I decided to send her a friendship type card (had puppies on the front). I wrote, "I didn't want this day to go by without saying thank you for 12-plus years of your warmth, love and friendship. PS: You still are my best friend."

It felt good to write it and to admit to myself (and her) that she still is my best friend. I recieved a text message:

"THANK YOU for the card!...Take it easy today."

I guess it when over pretty well (whew).
