I know that a lot of emphasis is attached to the 'official' day.

However, it was just one day of many in our long journey through nightmare alley.

In most cases, it's THE day for us because it's a defining moment in our history, of when we were confronted with just how broken our relationship had become.

It is by no means the only anniversary that we must face though. That is to say, we don't just get through that day and then it's over and now we can close the book on it.
As much as we all want to get over it and move on, that book just isn't going to stay fully shut as long as there's more reading to be done.

For me (and others I'm sure) most everyday is an anniversary of something terribly uncomfortable due to the decay that precluded the 'official' day and the nightmare existance that followed it.
The bomb has a wide mile radius, does it not?

I believe that it will be tough going for some months to come, (at least for me) as we trudge through one anniversary after another.

My hope is that by the time autumn rolls around and the anniversaries begin to reflect the positives from the previous year, I will begin to find some measure of peace and have a more enjoyable chapter to thumb through.
