Wow! A couple days ago was the 36th anniversary of my marriage that only saw two such actual observing's. With each passing date, I wonder if the 'ex' remembers on that historic day? Maybe if for only a moment? Once or twice I've forgotten on the actual day but remembered on the day after. Being remembered is always preferable to the alternative, even if you are only a small piece of another person's obscure and possibly revisionist history.
Thirty-six years sure doesn't seem possible but I did make the count on my fingers and toes. So I imagine that it's correct, give or take a year. Like looking back on everything else in life, that time seems to have gone by in a flash.
I was laughing with my oldest friend just the other day .... or was it two years ago? ..... how when we were young and in grade school, it felt like two or three years was three or four generations in passing but at our present age, all our accumulated sixty-ish years have felt like a few quick moments flashing by. Time is possibly the ultimate illusion.
