Actuallly, felt very sad today. Today would have been our 2nd wedding anniversary (although we were together for much longer).
Last night I was in the garden, lit a candle and had a cry.
I went to work this morning but my mind was not into to it so left work at lunch time.
The positive side in me decided to have a pamper. So got my hair cut (after 3 months or so!) and had a pedicure. It did lift my mood somewhat and now, I am on my way to a pub to meet a friend who I contacted earlier today to see if she wanted to go for a walk. It will be nice just to talk about him.
You just don't know how you are going to feel on anniversaries etc. There is a massive gaping hole in my life. Going forward, I think I am just going to have a day off. Feel what I need to feel! Plan to do something nice, even if that is just a walk in a nice park etc. or a last minute pamper. I hate to plan, so more like, just plan to take the day off and go with the flow. Dont know why I went i to work this morning?
Tomorrow is a new day! Just felt the need to share.
With lots of love,
Dutsie Xx

You are only normal and have the right to feel what ever the emotion that day brings.
Though you had a nice paper why not made you fill better. Have a extra drink for your hubby, enjoy your evening with your friend and yes tomorrow is another day.

Thank you Cath.
I did not even have a first anniversary! it is one of my few regrets that we did not get married sooner. Probably contributing to the emotional state I find myself in today.
The time I had with Richard - I would not change! It's made me the person I am today. He was trully inspirational.
I am not much of a drinker since he died but definitely will have a glass or two. Anyway must go and cheers!
With lots of love,
Dutsie Xx
