It has been one year today. I got up for work a year ago and by 6:45 a.m. found a note on my car and the rest is history. I feel numb.

T4S<p>Hang tough...it will be over soon. Ironically, it is the three year anniversary today, I believe, that our OW got knocked up. Very sad time for us, but I have to tell you, it lessens with time.<p>For the past three months, I've been dreading this week, this day, this month. And now it is almost over, I got through it and where I expected to be miserable and agonizing or obsessing, these days have gone by, even today, without much more than a hiccup.<p>So much has happened over the past three years that the importance of November 1998 has faded almost into oblivion. While I admit to an occasional spasm or tweak of discomfort, it is nothing like I felt the first or second year.<p>T4S, I completely understand what you are feeling right now this very moment...I remember. However, I promise that a year or two from now, you won't feel much of anything about it...not too much, anyway. There are better days ahead.<p>I find I care less and less about it, but then the OC is not in my life or in my husband's life. We rarely if ever discuss any of it...we have so many other things going on right now that all that seems like a distant dream-nightmare.<p>Stay strong, T4S...you'll get through this and in a couple months something else will be going on to distract you...you're smart to acknowledge it, grieve over it and then let it go. It's actually healthy to spend a few minutes going through it so you can dismiss it and focus on something healing and positive. Work through the pain as best you can and tomorrow will be better.<p>Catnip =^^=

Trying4sainthood,<p>Praying for you. I cannot imagine what I'll be in about roughly 5 months when my d-day comes around. This February when Mardi Gras rolls around and everyone in town is partying, I will be thinking of my H's and OW's private party too.<p>I hope things get better for you today, tomorrow and on and on.<p>I will be lifting you up.<p>Have you gotten my e-mails?<p>Hugs,
Twiisty<p>So, you on the Eastbank huh? Wonder if you live near my OW??? *evil grin and snicker*
