This whole anniversary thing has me feeling so out of sorts. I took great pride in always being prepared and making sure that Mary felt appreciated and loved on our special day.
I'm so glad that Good Friend and His Hot Wife are going to join me this weekend so that I'm not alone.
However, I still feel like when I am dreaming and realize that my clothes are missing, or I'm not ready for a test because I didn't go to class all term...something's wrong.
I know it is crazy but I feel like I should be at the grave all day...with flowers and keeping vigil or something like that...something that Mary totally would not want me to do.
So I'm going on this trip, going to have fun, and maybe even flirt with a Canadian chick or two.
But my heart of hearts will be looking down the aisle and my face will be breaking into a huge smile when my beautiful bride, Mary, walks through the doors. She'll be looking up at me tired, but thrilled, when I take each of our children in my arms after they are born. And she'll be holding my head to her chest as I cry after finding out that she was going to be taken away from me and tell me that it was going to be ok.

Be well, my friend!
Kari - Thanks for the great idea!
Miss Marisol - You're right and thanks for the thought!

You're right. She wouldn't want you keeping vigil at her graveside. In fact, why don't you plant a flowering bush for her instead. In your yard, in rememberance of your special day.
