Our Marriage

[ahavah]

We've been married for one year today. At this time last year, I still didn't even know if we were going to get married.

After rereading my marriage story, which was first shared in a friends-locked post here, I decided to share it again to mark the occasion. I'll keep this posted publicly, at least for a little while, so some of my non-lj friends

Your story is so beautiful and horrible all at once. What amazing strength you have...

[ahavah]

It kind of was, but it has made for one very powerful connection. Thank you.

Happy anniversary, Amanda! *hugs*

[ahavah]

Thank you so very much!

I had forgotten how hard this made me cry the first time around. (and laugh a little too).

I know you've been through a hellish year and have only just gotten through the "justice" part, but you are so very strong.

This is a very meaningful story, like your mom's story. I know of NO ONE who could do what you did.

[ahavah]

Thank you so much, for everything. I'm so glad you think it has some meaning. I hope no one ever has to do something like that. It was so very hard.

Thank you for sharing this (again)! All the beauty and the brokenness and beauty and brokenness and the infinity of that cycle...it's intense to witness.

[ahavah]

I'm really glad that you got something from it. It was certainly intense! I like the way you put that though, about the beauty and brokenness. That's so true.

This has been one long year for you. I wish you many more but full of happiness and joy. Those are some beautiful kids you have there and I'm sure they will love to hear this story when they are older and know that BooBoo was there with you.

*much love*

[ahavah]

Thank you so much! I hope it's a story they'll want to hear. They know we got married when Boo Boo was in the hospital, but at this point they don't like talking about that time too much. I can't really blame them.
