Happy (?!) anniversary...

Just wanted to make a note regarding the post below this one...
It contains a story that I have wanted to tell since I started this blog...it's actually the reason I started the blog in the first place. Though my place has become something very different from what I thought it would be when I began, it is still helping me on my journey of discovering who I really am. Sounds kinda heavy for this place and I guess it is but it's still the truth. And that is something that has become VERY important to me in the last year or so...
I decided to write it now, with the anniversary of something that should never have had to happen, looming. Please do not mistake the light tone in the story for me taking it less than seriously because nothing could be further from the truth. I have spent the last year beginning to try to make up for the last 14 years (and to a lesser extent, the rest of my whole life with friends and family!) and it has been difficult for me.
But none of the revelations or changes I have made would have been possible without the overwhelming goodness and generosity of spirit of the man I married. His patience and willingness to stay have allowed me the opportunity to delve into my issues and with him by my side I have begun to deal with all the baggage I didn't even know I had! His support has been unwavering and in the beginning, unwarranted and I have to thank him from the bottom of my heart for giving me a second chance when what I deserved was to watch as he walked out of my life forever.

J, I love you more every day that we spend together...thank you for being you; the best person I have ever known. I hope to spend the rest of my life erasing all traces of the bad stuff from the last 14 years from your heart...

That is SO funny...just this weekend, hubby said to me, "I wouldn't mind meeting up with him (meaning you!) if he's ever in T.O.", in response to something I read him from your blog! I kid you not!
So, absolutely...just drop me an email when you know what your plans are and when you'll have some free time and we will make it happen! :oD
P.S. We are doing *so* well, I can't even believe it! Still ups and downs but they are mostly the normal ones that everyone goes through. Thanks for caring...
*Hugs*

Moons, sweetie, my itinerary for the Toronto trip is non-existant. I NEVER plan things for the time I'm there, I just see what happens when it happens. :)

I'll email you directly here in the next couple days and we can go over stuff then, kay?

I saw your comment on my HNT blog so popped over here to check you out. I've read these last couple of posts and wow! What a way to be introduced to you. I wish you nothing but the best with life with your husband. He must be a really wonderful man to forgive you like he has done. I doubt if I could have done it. Stop by my regular blog if you get a chance, you may find it interesting.

BTW, I have aprons when we cook thing that spatter.
