ITM,

Soon the 9th will be over and you will wonder why you let yourself build it up to be such a big thing. I do recall my first separated anniversary. I spent it at The Happiest Place on Earth. What could be better than that? Are you near enough to Disney to do so? If not just plan to be ridiculously busy that day.
Hang in there, dear.
*hugs*

Look not mournfully into the past. It comes not back again. Wisely improve the present. It is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy future, without fear. {Henry Wadsworth Longfellow}
