My Wedding Anniversary is Approaching

My Wedding Anniversary is Approaching

• MotherAnn 4 years ago
  Jon and I would be celebrating our 39th wedding anniversary this coming Saturday. I always imagined we would be like my parents - still in love and celebrating well into our 80's. They will be celebrating their 63rd anniversary in November. Since Jon passed last December I have made it thru almost all of the "firsts". First Christmas, Easter, Birthday's, ..... They were all difficult and I imagine Thanksgiving will be especially difficult as last year's was so wonderful. My entire family (all 23 of us) were together to celebrate. I think, however, the most difficult time of all is going to be this Saturday. Our anniversary is a special day that was only special to us.
  
  I'm at a loss as to what I should do on this day. I don't know how I want to spend it or if I want to see anyone. I hope that someday I'll be able to make it thru these days and instead of having such a hopeless, empty feeling I'll be able to remember all of the wonderful times we had and even smile at the memories. Whenever that time comes I am thankful that I have had my family and friends to help me make it through these days.

  My sweetheart passed away on Thanksgiving day. To make things a little less difficult I make a list of projects that take up the entire day. That way I don't dwell on anything upsetting, and instead try to think about the good times we had.
  You will be in my thoughts tomorrow.

  Your plan is a good idea. I will try to do just that tomorrow. My daughter is going to want to do something as her husband is working tomorrow. Thank you. I am sorry for your loss. Hugs to you.
