and no-one other than our best man has thought to acknowledge our wedding anniversary .
I really don't expect friends to remember the date, I wouldn't have expected cards from them when DH was alive.
but my parents? my in-laws? our siblings? I don't expect flowers and cards, but a text message would have been nice. Other than the first year, my in-laws and SIL have never acknowledged what a hard day this might be for me. This year nothing, from any of them including my parents.
If I say something then I am telling them to remember and that's a bit crap, I want people to do it because they want to not because they've been told to. It just feels so shitty and lonely that they don't think about it at all.
All I can think about today is the life DH and I (and ds) should have been having, whether we would have had more children, be going out for dinner, what we would be talking about, planning, celebrating. This is so fucking unfair.
Perhaps my fmaily don't realise how much I still miss him and want him back. But I don't know how anyone could think that this is ever something that gets better, properly 100% better.
