Tomorrow is one year since Terry and I were married. I am very happy to be celebrating our one year anniversary of marriage. The past year has been full and rich. We've had terrific moments with friends and family, and we've experienced loss of a friend and sadness. Through it all, we remain together and strong with open lines of communication and proper perspective.
Our anniversary is special for many reasons... of course because it the day we were married. It was a day when our family and very closest friends joined us to celebrate and share a special time together. The fact that we were able to be married legally in and of itself in DC is worthy of celebration. The most bitter sweet part of all is that our wedding day was the last day we spent with our wonderful friend Sharon.
When I say this, I don't want it to sound self-centered, but it felt as though she held on for that one last significant moment. I don't think I have ever seen a person save all she had and then give it all, for one moment. It was an honor and a privilege to have her with us that day. It was the greatest gift ever that I always will cherish.
On this eve of our first anniversary, I feel much happiness because we had a terrific day to celebrate our love, and we shared it with such special people. Yet, I am also heavy in my heart because I miss our dear friend.
This clip from "My Best Friend's Wedding" popped into my mind today... especially with regard to telling someone how you feel when you feel it... saying, "I love you," because if you don't the moment just passes you by.
