Anniversaries

Two years ago to the day, I made a promise to cherish somebody, to persevere through the hard times, to forgive when I was hurt and learn to love even when it wasn't easy.

Three months later, despite my best efforts, it fell apart, and I still wish I could get an honest, scientific answer as to what actually happened.

Today, I had to take that experience and use it to help heal somebody else. The spot of one of my fondest memories became the place where I helped somebody else find freedom from her own.

Again, what a surprising script.
