two days

In two days it will be my mom's birthday. I sort of hate that she gets to stay 28 and I don't. Adding insult to injury is the fact that she was 28, terminally ill, and seemed to have a better game plan for life than I have at the moment.

In five days, it will be my 11th wedding anniversary - but since we are in the process of dissolving that union, it is hardly fit to celebrate. At the same time, it seems very weird NOT to acknowledge it. Hallmark needs to make a card for this. Something, like, "Sorry we are splitting up - and just so you know, I don't consider my time spent with you to be a waste of life like most divorced people do. As a matter of fact, I think you are a pretty cool dude, and I hope we can keep being friends."

No matter how I write that - there is no good way to say - "man this sucks - but not as bad as it could have."

If anybody finds one of those - let me know.
