June 14th
eight years ago today
I walked down that long aisle
and became your wife
We exchanged vows
having no idea that we
would face all of them
for richer or poorer
yep, did that one
in sickness and in health
yep, covered that one too
til death do we part
unfortunately, we got that one too
My favorite anniversary memory
is our 5 year anniversary
3 years ago today
That is the day
our son
entered the world
Could there be
a better gift than that?
We joked that
we would never celebrate our anniversary again
because Jacob's birthday
would always trump it
but
we never celebrated
an anniversary again
because you were dead
before Jacob turned 1
you were dead
before Jacob turned 1
you were dead
before Jacob turned 1
you were dead
before Jacob turned 1
maybe if I say it enough
it will start to sink in that
it's true
You have missed so much
we now have a 3 year old son
and he is a remarkable boy
thank you for giving me that last anniversary present
for that I will always be grateful
happy anniversary, Joe
happy birthday, Jacob

Some of our dates coincide, today is Navy Boy's birthday.
Happy Birthday Jacob.
Huge hugs B.
Beautiful, gut wrenching poem B.
Happy, happy birthday to Jacob. Oh to be 3 and innocent and full of fun and joy and to have the best Mum. (You are the best Mum for Jacob, I'm the best Mum for my kids - see, works for everyone!)
Hugs and sighs for you B.
Hugs and sighs.

What a bittersweet time for you, b.
*hugs*
Happy birthday to Jacob!
And, happy anniversary to you and Joe. I say that to celebrate your relationship and time together, and not to be insensitive. Hope that makes sense?
Be well!

trying to write thru the tears.
beautiful poem, you are so gifted.
Happy Birthday Jacob!!
Happy Anniversary, B, I know Joe will give you a sign that he remembers as well and that he's celebrating with you through your heart.
Happy Bday , Jacob and a *hug* to you, B.
You ARE an amazing poet. I know Joe can read this, if not in print, through your heart.
Jacob is certainly an amazing anniversary present - every year. :o)
Love you.
in whatever way possible - hope you have a nice day!
As painful as it is without Joe I hope you are able to have a happy day celebrating Jacob's b'day and remembering many wonderful times with Joe.
That is a very deep and wonderful poem. What a great anniversary present.
I don't even know you and I'm crying! Stay strong and always remember the wonderful moments.
