Hi Sage,

Thanks for the advice. I didn't call. I didn't think I could handle that well enough or say just what I wanted to say and nothing more. So I sent an e-mail. Here it is along with the reply.

Good morning Deborah,

I just wanted to drop you a quick note to say Happy Anniversary. I know. That's weird. But I appreciate the time we had together. I just wanted to thank you for sharing a portion of your life with me, making the effort to treat my kids very well and accept them, and making all those swimming trips even though it ate away most of our weekends. Despite the end result I don't regret having had the opportunity to have you as my wife and friend.

Have a nice day Deb.

Love, Wes

Good morning, Wesley.
Happy Anniversary to you.
I'm crying but I guess that's natural.
