I've been blogging for less than a year so there weren't many July posts for me to recycle but this is an important one. After eighteen months of living apart, Big Yankee and I were together again on our 13th anniversary.
July 3, 1999.
In a historic mansion, in front of family and friends Big Yankee and I pledged our love to each other.
In sickness and in health.
For better or worse.
We vowed to love each other through it all.
Thirteen Years.
Four Thousand seven hundred forty one days.
One daughter.
Two sons.
Three children.
Three apartments.
Three lay offs.
Three houses.
Four states.
Sixteen different jobs between us.
Eighteen months of a commuter marriage.
No one ever said marriage was going to be easy.
No one ever told me it was going to be so heartbreakingly difficult.
There were times I wasn't sure we would survive.
Times I thought we were too broken, too shattered.
Times the end of the tunnel was just another cavern of darkness.
Yet here we are-basking in the light at the end.
Together again.
I love you forever and always Big Yankee!
Happy Anniversary!
