My 1 yr anniversary --- marred by bad news

[chaoswolf]

Happy Anniversary, selkit. 1 year ago today, we were married here @ Consonance. At 0700, I received a semi-panicked phone call from selkit that my mother-in-law's condition is rapidly deteriorating. Due to the darkness in the room and the fact my cell phone was next to the laptop on the desk, I didn't get to it in time to console him. I quickly called the number back, left a voice mail message, then called Bird. It seems that the EndGame is about to happen. I could be wrong. But to think that my 1 yr anniversary to him is marred by this. Fuck. Any plans I had to spend any time with Selkit on the phone for our anniversary just got blasted to smitherines.

May miss concerts today, will need hugs, will need...contact. Drinks may help.

BTW, any news why AJA didn't get here sooner? I could use a dose of Never Lose Hope right about now.

So very sorry -- hugs and gentle songs to you all. On the other hand, it doesn't mar or diminish the fact of your marriage. If you dwell on the bad stuff that happens any given day, you'll soon have a Calendar Of Bad Stuff.

He told me to get sticker-happy with the wedding album, think about today 1 year ago and the good times. I'm having major difficulty with self control right now, so there's a strong probability that this may happen again.

Had conversation (abbreviated) that basically told me to focus on the positive and to gain control of myself.

I'm sorry to hear this; may it all work out as well as possible.

It sounds very like life is reminding you that we gotta do what we gotta do, and sometimes what we want to do just isn't congruent with that. Good luck making it as right as it can be, for you, for him, and for both of your families.

I hope the rest of your year is better than today and next anniversary is one where you feel like rejoicing.

Hugs. :/ iirc there is something in the more or less standard vows about for better or for worse.. Now in the for worse time I'm afraid. I'll keep you and Selkit, his mother and you in heart and mind.

Indeed. There was a passage in our vows as well for the similar thing. I just am starting discover the disadvantages of not having any self-control over what I say when I'm on the phone with him. It seems to be irritating to everyone involved.
