A First of many

Michaela and I started seeing each other the first of February 17 years ago. The first of each month since that month Michaela would wish me “Happy Anniversary.” Every single month for 17 years. I was thankful to be with someone who invested in our relationship each and everyday of her life. It is hard to believe on this first of July my love has been gone a week. The first of the month marks a first of many I won’t have with her again.
