Egad!!! My H sent me an email for our 25th anniversary using all our pet names. Here it is:

Dearest xxx, Happy hapy happy 25th, I am so sorry I could not be there. I will try to call you sometime tomorrow but I will be on the road again.

Kisses
xxx

I replied:

And to you, dearest xxx. Happy 25th anniversary. I'm also sorry you're not here, but that's life.

Kisses and hugs

He sometimes does this sort of thing, just for special occasions, then I get all confused. On Sunday, he spoke very abruptly to me on the phone. Then a little later, he called to say sorry. He has rarely done that in the last 6 years. His old self would've.

Anyway, he is a long way from home, on the other side of the world, and he will be there for the next 2 weeks. I think I'll go buy myself some flowers, and have my hair done, or something.

It's been a long time since I felt like bawling. But I won't.
