So...what would have been our 15 yr anniversary has come and gone. No recognition of the day by either of us which was to be expected. I ended up taking the kids out to dinner that night to celebrate anyway. If it wasn't for the marriage, I wouldn't have them...so I figured that was reason enough to celebrate.
In an effort to keep being honest it was still a really tough day for me. I kept busy and plowed through, but when I got home I was cleaning up some things and found an old card from my H. It was a happy 20th anniversary card I'd gotten years earlier and inside it said I know we've only been married for 7 but I know someday we'll be celebrating 20. My life with you is great. All of a sudden that punch in the gut feeling came over me. On a good note, I got over that dreadful feeling a lot quicker than I would have 2 yrs ago, so I guess I am making progress. I'm not a patient person by nature (one of the things I'm working on) so I expect a lot more of myself sometimes.
