All day today, I’ve had a nagging feeling that there was some “occasion” this month of May that I was forgetting. I did a mental check and Mother’s Day popped into my mind. I scratched that. I remembered that May 10 was the anniversary of my first marriage (it was also Mother’s Day that year) but that rang no bells–as it shouldn’t. The date May 20th, popped into my mind briefly but just as quickly was dismissed with a shrug. Nope. I didn’t know until spouse came home and opened a greeting card from his mom–my mother-in-law–that tomorrow, May 20th, is the 14th anniversary of our getting hitched.

It goes without saying that I forget many dates of anniversaries of birthdays, especially.

Some dates that I never forget however are both my kid’s birthdays and my Mom’s birthday. Dad would get thrown into the mix but he’s not ever seemed to enjoy celebrations and his birthday is right near Father’s Day and coincidentally also in the vicinity of my spouse’s birthday, too. Too many dates to remember in June. Lots of birthdays in the extended family too, as well as 8th grade and high school graduations.

So happy anniversary, dear. You are a good spouse. I was just thinking that. You do all the cooking and you work too much and you’ve spent countless hours working with our son on his ballista project for the Gifted Children’s Expo.

You are not really the romantic type (nor am I) so I’ll close using an unfussy statement. I think I got it right this time. Happy Anniversary. I love you.
