Hi JJ, thanks,
I've been surprised how hard this anniversary has been, I think as hard as last year, really. But, as you say, I am so surprised we were able to talk to each other about what was going on with us....we NEVER used to do that...and it led to alot of misinterpretation that helped to get us into trouble.

In many ways, we are already so much better than I ever ever dreamed we could be, I'm not sure why I even bother to go there in my mind, I guess it just takes a while to get through it for a final time. Sometimes my mind goes there from some little unpredictable thing, and i find myself tearing up....but really we have never been able to talk about things like we do now, and I have never gotten to see this tender, considerate, concerned side of H. I have to say, I love it.

I do find it kind of curious that he's now chosen to read "not just friends"....he may have assigned it to someone, but I get the impression it is somehow for his own benefit. I'm thinking he's looking for some answers, understanding of some part of this whole thing, for himself. which is good! and something else I never thought I'd see. He commented that he sees some of monster in some of the scenarios in the book.


been around awhile!
