I also want to comment on this, given that my 17th aniversary would have been this past Saturday. I was anticipating the most horrible day of my life. I did have an activity planned during the day, but nothing to do at night.

During the day I went on an art tour in the city with a craft guild I just joined. I carpooled with some folks from the suburbs, and on the way into the city, traffic on the main highway into the city was completely stopped, so we took some back roads instead. Here is the irony - WE DROVE PAST THE CHURCH WHERE I GOT MARRIED! Oh my god! But, I just gave it a fleeting thought, and returned to a conversation we were having. I didn't lose it, didn't even come close.


So, right now, thinking about your anniversary is the most painful thing, but I think when that time comes, you will have grown so much, you will handle whatever happens with confidence.
