KLD,
Thank you so much for your good wishes and especially your prayers!
We have both had to work today so the actual day wasn't spent celebrating. We both have jobs that require working on most holidays. It's fine. We are used to it.
But Saturday we went out to eat at a VERY nice restaurant that has a bit of history for us. We ate there on our wedding night. Just appetizers that night, but we loved the cosmopolitan, city atmosphere. And the reason we ate there THAT night is that it was a new restaurant that opened in place of the one we went to on our first DATE.
We are a little nervous because we LIKE this restaurant and it seems like when we find a nice place, it closes shortly after we eat there. This has happened FOUR times. One time it was a restaurant in our small town. It had been there for 15 years before I EVER ate there. We liked it. And 2 weeks after we went there, it CLOSED. One of the places actually got torn down within 3 months of our first visit. LOL!!
I do indeed LOVE my FWH!!!! He is funny and smart and truly the sexiest man I have ever known.(When I was single for so many years, I actually thought something was wrong with my hormones. I was sure I would NEVER be physically attracted to ANYONE again. HAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!)
We have a long way to go though and even today, I wonder how we'll make it.
Today itself has been up and down. So many memories of last year. I remember getting 3 hang-up calls the weekend of our anniversary last year. They were odd. Then one night as we went to bed, I heard the sound of the dial tone because the phone was off the hook in the kitchen. My H had put the receiver in the garbage can!!! When I asked him why, he said it was so that I wouldn't get woken up by another hang-up call. Oh, really!!I asked him if he KNEW who was calling and he, of course, said.....no. But my heart was sick, because then I KNEW. I wasn't sure WHAT I knew, but I KNEW!
When I told my daughter about the calls, she told me that 2 weeks earlier when she was home on a night that I was working but was SUPPOSED to be home, that there were 5 hang-up calls. It scared her to the point of locking all windows and doors. Not so coincidentally, after D-Day ,I found a voice mail on H's phone from OW, sent that same night. She professed her LOVE(ewww!!)for him in her broken English way. I guess that's when she started feeling desperate.
Geez, forgive me for rambling on when you were so kind to wish me wonderful things. I am trusting God for all those things for US and also for YOU KLD!!!!! MB is here for all of us broken Hs and Ws.
