We’ve been married 13 years today. Not bad for any couple; really, under a multitude of circumstances, pretty good for us, because they’ve not exactly been the smoothest of years. I’d have given a lot, 3 years ago, to know we were going to get to 13 years: it wasn’t something that looked certain at 10, that’s for sure.
But here we are, 13 years on, still happy, still on the same page, still in love and together and best of friends.
It’s kind of sad to be able to have champagne too; if you don’t follow my twitter feed, you won’t know that that little bit of hope has come to a non-viable nothing 🙁 as we discovered when we had a quick peek inside a week ago. Unfortunately it has been not really there since almost the beginning and even more unfortunately, my body has yet to work that out, so we face another bit of the roller coaster of procreation over the next week. I’m more okay than you might think. There is some comfort that it happened, the 3 weeks of thinking all was well was terrifying and in some ways not being on the path after all is a relief. I’m not sure what that says about where we go from here.
So here’s to us. Still standing. Due some luck. Still in love. We’ve come a long way in these last 3 years, a long way since last year even. And that is a good thing.
I am sorr fr your loss !erry, but heartened byr e fact that you have love so strong
Thank you 🙂
Congratulations to you both on your anniversary. I’ve pointed that overdue luck in your direction, hoping it arrives soon. Cx
🙂 At least I’m a long way past counting my chicks before they hatch 🙂
Happy anniversary. And I’m really very sorry.
Congratulations on 13 years; it’s quite an achievement.
And I’m sorry.

All my love to you, Merry. I’m so sorry.
But happy anniversary. Hold each other tight today.

Happy Anniversary. I’m glad to hear that all the struggles of the last 3 years have gotten you to a place where you can appreciate each other despite the extra crappy stuff that’s going on right now. It’s never a good thing when a hard working mom who deserves champagne every day feels bad about being able to drink it on her wedding anniversary. (The flowers are beautiful too.)
Sending you wishes for a beautiful anniversary, and also my sincerest apologies for the miscarriage.
congratulations on the anniversary, 13 years is definately not to be sniffed at!!
Sorry to hear your other news, I’ve not had a chance to check in for several days and was so hoping for a different post to that. Maybe it’s your body’s way of saying it’s starting to remember what to do??? Fingers crossed for year 14 xxx
Congratulations on the anniversary – I hope you had a nice day, despite everything. Sorry to hear about the other news. I hope it’s not too awful waiting for things to sort themselves out. I know you’ve been there before, but I don’t suppose that makes it any easier. My fingers and toes are all still crossed for you and that rainbow baby.
Thank you all; it is turning out to not be entirely clear cut, so we are still playing a bit of a waiting game.
Hoping for you Merry. Praying that all will be well. Be easy on yourself, dear. Happy Anniversary indeed! Sustaining a marriage over the long haul is quite an achievement, I am happy for you.
