V Day = D Day

Happy D Day to my lover!!!  We decided years ago on Feb. 14th that we had hit rock bottom in our marriage.  We'd gone out for Mexican food and to the theater to see a movie.  We kept driving through the country instead of turning onto that BBQ road.

It was a horrible, lonely, gross place to be.  Hubs lost his job, my step-father and his father both died within 6 months of each other to cancer, we weren't at all happy living in Virginia after just getting back from awesomeness in India.  Nothing fit. Instead of turning to each other, we turned on each other.  A bunch of other really sad stuff happened.  We moved back to NC so we could breathe.

We took the deepest breath we have ever taken and ploughed through.  It was beyond difficult.  But, this many years later, it is beyond worth it.  What we destroyed was built back up beyond what we ever could have thought or imagined.  There's a lot that we just laid to rest and don't even talk much about anymore since so much healing has happened.  But there is a lot that we go over again and again b/c we are incredibly thankful.  We have been given back a full measure.  We are drinking from the saucer b/c our cup has overflowed.  Happy D Day!
