Nineteen years ago today

I remember, it liked it was yesterday

Me, in my off white renaissance wedding dress

You, in your beige suit

Looking, so dashing

As I come, down from inside the cabin

With my father at hand

Giving me away

On this beautiful day

Up in red feather lakes

Your mom marrying us

Paul reading something

I asked, him to write, for us on our special day

As we said, our vows

You promised, me you would be there for me for all the good and bad times

But, here we are 19 years later divorced

Still the best of friends and you have been there for most of the good and bad

So, thank you, for being there for me when I need it the most.

This day is still special to me

After all of these years

I can’t believe it’s been 19 years

Best of friends through

Thick and thin

From my

Depression

Anxiety

Hospitalization

Self Sabotaging

Post Partum

Autistic child

You are still here

when I need you the most

After 19 plus years

So thank you

Friendship
