Today, my wife and I have been married one year. This is our first wedding anniversary.
Our relationship is good, and despite all my health complications, we've done well. I've told my wife this, and meant it - I'd rather have cancer and her, than no cancer and no her.
This day is a small source of anguish though. I'm sick from chemo and have had bowel issues the last couple days. (I'll spare the gory details as to what has happened, but I think my nausea pills creates too much motility. Long story short, clenching doesn't always mean "stop".) We're still going to go out, but it takes away from the joy of the day when I can't help be focused on: - am I going to be able to eat? - am I going to crap myself or throw up while in public? In the car?
I know she's head over heals in love with me, and if it came down to it - wouldn't change a thing. Its just a bummer that I still, after being diagnosed with cancer 4 days before Christmas 2015, still don't have a BASIC quality of life that so many people... men... take for granted.
Its depressing, you know?
Totally rambling, but I believe bottling stuff like this up will only make me more sick...

Pretty neat that the one year anniversary picture is holding the wedding picture, the wedding picture we're holding our engagement picture, our engagement picture is holding our first picture together.

Chemo is hell. It's pretty embarrassing to start dry heaving with a crowd of onlookers at the mall.

I love the picture! You two look great. And that's super fun about the picture within the picture within the picture. You guys going to keep it going as you hit other milestones?
I've been praying for you and the chemo. I really hope this is the last you have to do of it...
