Hugs for Lisa

Today (Saturday) is the first wedding anniversary for Lisa (Nothing Good About Grief blog) since the death of her husband last September. I know how hard that it - our wedding anniversary came in the middle of the triumvirate - Christman, our anniversary (12/29) and Becky's birthday. Because we were both in academia, we were usually off during that time, and every year it was a period of wonderful renewal of our love. And so last year it was so hard. I spent some time in church, and then had some buddies over for a 25 cent poker game.

Anyway, all readers please do hold Lisa close to your heart today. I know that the love of friends is no comparison for the love of a spouse, but it is what I can offer today.
