Today is our anniversary. Both Andrew and I agree that choosing to spend our lives together was the best decision we ever made. I am so grateful that I've had him to lean on all of these years. I'm so incredibly lucky, and many days I don't feel as though I deserve him.
Unfortunately, he is working at a girls basketball game this evening. He regrets that tremendously, but I completely understand. Sometimes jobs happen when we'd rather be doing other things, but we are responsible human beings. It's absolutely okay. We'll spend some time together this evening, and then hope for a dinner this weekend.
It's been a rough afternoon. There is a situation at work that may have been from some misinformation, but could literally cost our school tens of thousands of dollars. Even though it has nothing to do with me, it makes me sick to my stomach to even think about it. I came home from work feeling that way, only to be greeted by Thomas who is nearly in tears. He is very concerned that he won't be able to perform well in the auditions he has coming up for universities, and therefore is afraid he won't be able to get into the music ed programs. While I understand that music teachers need to be able to play instruments, he isn't interested in performing so this seems ridiculous the level of music performance required. He is hurting, and of course, I hurt with him. And then shortly after having that tough conversation with him, I learned that the father of a high school friend has entered hospice care and they expect it to be just a matter of days. My heart is so completely broken for them. It was a very tough afternoon.
I know though, that with the exception of the passing of my friend's father, everything else we can work through. Everything else is going to be okay in the long run. We'll get through these things, and especially on my anniversary, I am reminded that we will get through them together.
