Take The Long Way Home...

FOBD.
Anniversaries are the hardest. I've been through two now unable to celebrate them. I don't know that it's going to get easier.
Hard to know if that date in future is going to be a black wreath event or a balloons and cake one from day to day.

I think the thing we all need to focus on is that with or without our spouses, we have become better people. Kinder, more compassionate, understanding. Less prone to anger, more patient with others and ourselves.

They're stuck. We're not. We can help pull them out of the muck if they wish it, but they must extend their hands.


As for this:

Wife, wherever you are tonight, I do hope, from the bottom of my heart, that you are safe, warm and have peace of mind. Because your "piece" is going to cost me half of everything I own.

Never forget she helped you attain that "stuff" and.... better yet, someone you now like to look at in the mirror. Maybe one day, she'll see him too.
