Today's our 8th Anniversary. We made it to #8... technically anyway. Wonder what he's doing... if he cares....<p>I'm fine, really. I'm at work today. Trying to keep my mind off it. Going out with my sis tonite [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img] . <p>I'm in Plan B. Guess I can't send him a text msg or voice mail, huh? One minute I wanna do something sracastic, the next I wanna send a sweet hello and Happy Anniversary and I love you. Don't worry, I won't do either.... just telling all of you about it to get it out of my head. <p>Maybe Kevco can teach me how to window shop.... [img]images/icons/grin.gif" border="0[/img] <p>Hope everyone is having a good weekend. 2002 will be a better year for me... it better be! [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img]

Hey, Lil Sis!<p>I was about to go looking for you, too.....<p>Don't you worry about it. And DON'T THINK for one minute that it's not on his mind, too!!! REALLY!!!<p>You're doing good. Hang in there. It's hard, I know. BUT we're in this thing together.....and we're gonna make it!<p>When you guys are old and grey and celebrating number 28 or whatever, you'll look back at this as only a "bump in the road" of happiness.....that's all!! <p>Luv YA!!!

Faith,<p> I am sorry that you have to go through a tough time on a day that should be celibrated. I know how tough it really is. I sat outside the church that we got married in at the exact time we were married.<p> I just want to tell you that you are a wonderful person and that you have been there for me and alot of other people. You have a good time with your sister tonight. If you need to talk about it somemore I will be on here later tonight for the normal Saturday night alone.<p>

Faith,
Happy Anniversary to you!! You can celebrate, celebrate the good things that you had in your marriage and the happy times that were had.<p>If it were me I would send some message along the lines of "Thought of you today" and leave it at that. I know I may get blasted for breaking a plan B, but I believe that anniversary is one occasion that should be remembered, by both parties. You know he thought about it at some point today.<p>I hope you and your sis have a good time tonight!!<p>Dawn

Happy Anniversary, Faith. We love you.<p>I'm sure he has thought about it and you, Honey. And I know what you mean about see-sawing back and forth of wanting to say something sarcastic and then something loving, confusing to say the least ...<p>But, no contacting him, Faith. Plan B doesn't lift for Anniversaries.<p>Stay strong.<p>Love,
Jo

Hi Faith,<p>Just wanted you to know I was thinking about you. I know how hard it is, but as others have said it's probably hard on him too, his ego just won't let him tell you. Stay strong with plan B. No contact is the rule. <p>sad dad

You are in my prayers Faith...
So many times you have given me something to think about, encouraged me and,with God's help,I have awakened the next morning and I was still OK! Whether you know it or not, you have a gift, you have a way of helping us here and it is not taken lightly. Anytime I see a thread with your name on it, I know that I better read carefully, think hard, because your wisdom MAKES A DIFFERENCE. <p>So on this Anniversary of yours, #8...we will pray for #9...and then #10!
You are an encouragement to me, to everyone, because in this place that God has us...this place where we are learning how to trust Him, the voices we hear can focus us on a narrow path that will lead to victory. You are one of those voices for me and I'm sure for so many here.

Thank you might not really be enough...<p>[ January 02, 2002: Message edited by: MissingHer ]</p>
