Happy Anniversary, No Matter What

It still feels like this happened last week.

Friday, March 8, marks what would have been my 26th wedding anniversary to Brady. I remember our wedding day in detail. It feels like it happened last week. Marriage for us came 13 years after our first date and we expected it to last a lot longer than it did. My heart was broken 2.5 years ago when he passed away. But I will do as I have now done twice before; I will leave pretty flowers at the cemetery where he rests in love. I will bring him his favorite blueberry cake donut and I will think back to the day we met, which is as vivid as our wedding. And I will be grateful for the big, big love he gave me, the adventures he took me on and the joy he infused into our lives every day. Brady was wise – he said people can choose to be miserable or they can choose to be happy. Like Brady, I choose to be happy by basking in all that he gave me every single day. Happy Anniversary Brady Pie!
