Ooo, I am so torn today.
I want to give you more story, partly because I feel pressure to seal that deal, but even more importantly, you’re dying for it. I can tell. Each one of you is waking up every morning with a head full of pressing questions – What color is Helena’s onesie? How many electronic cigarettes does Gladys smoke in a day? What does Anass eat for breakfast to make him, well, such an ass? How can I get my hands on Rick’s number? Do you think Stephanie would mind? And to state the obvious – what color are Bitty’s sheets?
I get it. It’s my own fault. There’s no doubt I set you up for this. I mean, I’ve created such a riveting, compelling story line, what do I expect but to be harassed for more? You’re a little intense though. You can lay off just a tad. I appreciate your enthusiasm an’ all, but climbing your way into my dreams and clawing at me like the Walking Dead is slightly off-putting. In fact, I’m not too proud to admit it’s downright scary.
Okay, just kidding. Don’t stop. In fact, bring in the White Walkers. I like a good show.
Anyway, zombies and icy-eyed cold dudes aside, you’re not getting more story today. There are a couple of other things I feel are more significant for now.
It is my 21st wedding anniversary. What can I say? I married when I was 14 – my dowry was irresistible. It has been many years (well, 21 to be exact) of ups and downs, trials and tribulations, the splendid, the dodgy and the dull, all rolled into a wonderfully snug union of seemingly endless time.
And then yesterday, as I sat in the hot sun tempered with a light breeze, watching a paraplaner sail the serenely blue sky above my neighborhood, the phone rang and I realized there is no endless.
Aside from expected soreness, my husband is unharmed as was the other party involved. Our lucky day.
This, you cannot take for granted.
Maybe not yesterday, maybe not tomorrow, but endings there will be. Try to make them happy.
Thank you for this

Not sure if “LIKE” is appropriate Hazy…an interesting Wednesday it sure was…an angel on the shoulder of Mr. Hazy, ya think?

You definitely still need to “like” mum. That’s my bread and butter. Are you nuts?! ;0)

Thank goodness all are well! So true – we never know what’s coming around the corner at us. Savour the moment and happy anniversary – I’m thinking that 1993 was a great year. You got married, Bruce and I got together. The stars all lined up just right.

First, congratulations on weathering the storms of 21 years (including the mess of a car). Second, I urge everyone to kiss those you love. Hold them tight and tell them you love ’em. It’s time.
