THE JOURNEY: Forgetting my anniversary. How is that even possible? March 14Th would have been our 35Th wedding anniversary. On the morning of the 15Th it suddenly dawned on me that I totally forgot about it. That was the first time unless you count the time I forgot the anniversary card at home while we were on vacation. Awkward, but wait. What does it mean? Is it some pseudo-analyzed mumbo jumbo explained reason? Like deep down after making it through this past year I some how intentionally blanked it out? That will teach you Barb! I am guessing she is a little too busy where she is at to put much thought into a particular day. Can it be that I really did not place any relevance on the date any more and have made it just another day? What do you think? After spending so long with someone that is not the answer. No, I have to rationalize that time for me just blends together now and even though the holidays and anniversaries last year were so extremely hard, I am being protected. Protected from the extremes of emotions that hurt. I guess I am going to think of it as Barbs gift to me for without that, I am just another selfish male that forgot an anniversary. And that just can't happen. Happy Anniversary.
