Life moments

Yesterday, I broke a coffee mug. Yes, it happens somewhere every day. But I cried over this one. You see, my soulmate bought it for me when we set up housekeeping on November 27th, 2006. He had the matching one. It was one of the very first purchases we made as a couple.

We have had a relationship full of joy and hardship. More details of that later….right now he is in a long term care living center. A nursing home. He had his third catastrophic stroke August 29th, 2015. I knew this was a possibility due to family history,  but it didn’t matter. I am a nurse, so I could take care of him whatever happened. But I didn’t factor in me having an acute heart attack and having 3 stents placed just one month before….July 29th, 2015. Our lives have turned upside down and we have a new reality.

I broke a coffee cup yesterday, and broke my heart once again……
