> I like - "A whole year - wow." It says so much.
You're right. Perhaps I should have taken a page from ShortE's book and stuck with that. But I didn't. (Later I hope to post about what I did write in the card as an update to this thread.)
> You've described him and your relationship in so many ways in past posts - maybe go back through some of those?
I actualy did! Thanks for suggesting it, though. This was actually the first time I've really gone back and read my old Babble posts. It's quite strange.
>> It is interesting to read your early stuff when you started working with him, it was mostly comparisons to T1...to now when it (usually) is all about him and you. So much growth.
You are probably right on there. And it touches me you'd notice and remember. ((daisy)) Yes, we've talked about the change, the movement away from T1 and toward him. It's been possible, I believe, AND possible to talk about it, because this T. allows and encourages me to talk about T1 any time I want. Always has and is so very respectful about that, even though it must tax him at times, because I'm sure without meaning to (at least months ago) I sometimes made T1 sound like he was perfect...(he wasn't) and so it must be kind of hard for T. to hear over and over, and not be tempted to show annoynace, or slip into trying to "live up to" something.

> I know you hit a really rough spot recently. But your struggle with this card shows just how deeply you care and that is a really wonderful thing.Yes. Yes. You are right.

> I'm sure that no matter what you end up writing, he will love it.I won't have details till next Wednesday, but I think I did okay and he's pleased...he tried to "cheat" with an email {gasp!) today...I promise I'll explain in another post
Thanks for talking about this with me, Daisy. The whole topic of cards and anniversaries feels right and good and solid, and even nicer sharing with Babblers.
