My H left 6 months before our 25th...we had already picked out the cake for our party (the first party we would have had with more then just family in attendance...we were going to go all out on this one) and were planning on a romantic cruise for our special Silver Anniversary...that blew up in my face and was the hardest thing I had to face...even now it hurts to know that my 25th anniversary went totally unobserved...
The good news is we just celebrated our 27th anniversary...since the 24th anniversary this was the first!...It wasn't marked with great gifts because things are still tough...but he did tell me he loved me...something I hadn't heard for atleast 2 1/2 years...
