1st wedding anniversary without the person I married
July 23, 2002 was one of the happiest days of my life, I married the love of my life. I married the man I was born to spend my life with. Today, July 23, 2011 is a very sad day. I spent this day, what should have been my 9th wedding anniversary without the love of my life, without the man I was born to spend my life with.
At 1:00pm today, the same time I said "I do" 9 yrs ago, I released some balloons into the air, sending my love to Jim. I tried to be as happy as I could today and for the most part, I was successful, now that night is setting in, I am getting that overwhelming sadness that creeps in when the sun sets. I want so badly to touch his face, to hear his voice, to see him smile.
I miss him more than words will ever express, EVER! I am sad, so very sad.

I know how hard this is for you....our anniversary was May 4, so I have already gone through this \"first\" without my hubby. Sometimes you just have to BE with all the emotions and let it all out. At least, I do, and then after, I feel a little better. I like your balloon release, what a positive way to celebrate and send your love to your hubby. Thinking of you and wishing you a Happy Anniversary, even though it is not how you wanted it to be, it is still a celebration of one of the happiest days of your life. Hugs, Dawn
I am so very sorry, I knew it was going to be a difficult day for you. The balloon release was a BEAUTIFUL idea. I believe our husbands are still able to feel our love across the.....whatever the space between us is. xo Big hugs to you. Hoping for easier days...and especially nights...ahead for you.
