Quoting hoping: LL..nice to hear from you..hope your day is going ok......you are my inspiration here..have been for along time..I know you are frustrated with things..wish I could wave the wand and make it all go away..but then that would be too easy...we need this to keep us on our toes..well ok not most of it, but looking back things can get taken for granted to easily.
Our church is having a memoral service tonight for 9/11..if we stop and think about things, our problems are trivial compared to all those families who are still strugling with that day 2 years ago.

ah sue,
I don't feel like much of an inspiration most days, but I understand the sentiment. funny thing about taking things for grantide...I thought I was the one being taken for grantide...I always apreciated what he did do for "us"...long long long before we were even engaged my dad asked me "what are you doing with him, what does he offer you" my response was that he worked so hard to provide a future for us...my dads response "he'd work anyway, his business is for him" and part of that is all to true. I have appreciated what he does...heck even when h was having an a and basically distant from me I defended "us" to his soon to be sil (now sil) she claimed "I could never live this life" my response was "well we may not do alot together but that is because h works hard to provide all that we have here, we are able to entertain and not worry about how much the food costs etc" part of me even then was simply looking at his providing so well as a means to excuse his lack of "presence" in a personal type r with me. Now having gone through what I went through I find it harder to just say "well we don't do much together but that is because h works so hard to provide for us"

during my sep my mil would so often point out the poor poor women who had lost their spouse in 9/11 as if to offer some comfort to me...sorry I may be cynical but it doesn't offer me any consolance..my response to that was always..well they know he's gone for good and don't have to struggle through this crap...death is certain...love is not. again
sorry if I missed it in here somewhere...what ever did happen with your anniversary...mine is again comming up at the end of this month...I know h is planning a mini vaca..but the date means little to me at this point.
