You and I have an annaversary in common, dearheart. I knew for sure on January 22, and confronted him the next morning.


Bombed on the same day.
Well...I know that I will keep you in my thoughts more than usual come January 22.

The memories of each day that led up to the beast pulling back it's hood - last year - are playing out like creaky steps leading me to a violently haunted room - this year.
Quote:

Damn. These memories hurt. We went to see the Return of the King the other night. Later, I began to think about the part where Frodo was stabbed with the Ringwraith's ice-cold sword on Weathertop. It never completely healed, and sometimes the wound would grow cold and make his heart feel like it was pumping cold blood. That is how those memories feel to me.


Powerful analogy!
