vossy,

I wish I was someone who could give you advice/direction. But I am not. I am new here myself. I just wanted you to know over the past couple of days I have read your entire story from start to finish. You definitely have patience and a strong will power to work at this given the distances you both face at times. So while I do not have anything productive to offer in terms of help, I will offer my moral support. I will follow your story and wish you the best!

That being said, i will take an amateur stab at the anniversary remark. So please do not listen to me, but wait till someone with more experience validates or shoots down my thought. I would guess since he brought it up it would be ok to make a remark about it. However, I would think a reply along the lines of "its nice that you remembered" would do you well. This way you acknowledge his comment in a pleasant way, but you do not tip your hand that you were dwelling on this day as well. I would think this would be a non pursuing reply. Just my thoughts...maybe someone else will have a different idea.
