bracing myself

my body knows it, my brain is telling me to get ready, my heart is aching, tears sit just below the surface. i can feel it coming. the word "anniversary" doesnt quite seem like the appropriate word. even thesaurus.com makes nearly all its synonyms sound like a fond memory of a joyful and jubilant event. even the advertising that comes up when you search on that word is keyed in on the good, encouraging its readers to buy something from Tiffany & Co.

i am nearing "that day" where everything turned upside down one year ago. friends who have walked this path before me tell me that the anticipation is worse than actually living it. i am counting on that.
