One Year To The Day

"Skeletons rule the best of men." - T.O. Hob

One year ago tonight...unless of course you go by date instead of days and then technically I suppose it's one year ago tomorrow, but anyway...where was I?

Oh yeah.

Right here.

Tonight. A night on which nothing happened. One year after another night on which nothing happened.

A year ago you couldn't have found another man happier about something not happening. A year later and not much has changed.

I'm still ridiculously happy that nothing happened on that night a year ago.

And as for tonight? Well, it could be worse. And I'm lucky it's not.

I'd almost completely forgotten about it all, and I certainly wasn't marking the days, but in the silence that precedes this entry I discovered the parts of last year I had rushed through...and in that discovery I found a memory.

I have let go. I have moved on. I am just a little bit different.

But still...you never forget the debts you can never repay.

So one last time before I bury it forever...thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

And good night.
