This post is dedicated to someone very important to me, fellow yelper, partner in food crime, hubby and best friend (Armstrong B) whom I have shared very fond memories with at "Therapy" but also in life with in general. In fact, if it wasn't for him I would have never found out about Therapy OR even Yelp. Now it's MY turn to treat him to some much needed "therapy" if he will just accept this very public display of my love, gratitude and sincerest of apologies for my past behavior and forgive me during my weakest moments? :(
I just absolutely need Therapy sometimes (don't we all?) especially, during this extremely difficult and depressing pandemic, bundled up with the loss of our Benji, the loss of all sources of my income, my declining health and our financial insecurity which has been taking its toll on my family. I would often seek comfort and distraction by way of little cute Knick nacks, an array of useful cook books, funny socks, inspiration mugs and unique clothes. It's always managed to be there for me during the lowest parts of my life.
However, now I'm finding I may soon need even more "Therapy" in my life, if husband (of almost 16 years btw) gives up on us without so much as a word (literally.) So I'm asking him to just go get some "Therapy" with me rather than trying to run away from problems and lose sight of what really matters most in life (besides gaming and shopping of course) which are the people we LOVE. You can't just keep making empty promises to someone and then not back up those words with actions when the time comes, no matter how difficult the circumstances, otherwise, you may end up regretting it later. Always choose love even when it's hard because that's when it matters most. And be sure to support all those you love (including small local retailers) during these difficult times and remember to ALWAYS be KIND and go to THERAPY if you think you need some (the retail kind or otherwise.)
Right here waiting...(until forever)
Bridge tolls apart day after day
And I slowly go insane
I don't get to hear your voice on the line
And it's causing me severe pain
If you won't even fight to be together
How could you promise me forever?
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I took for granted, all the times
That I thought would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
And I wish I could be near you now
Oh can't you see it baby
You've got me going crazy
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I wonder how we can survive
this romance
But in the end if I'm with you
I'll take (any) chance
Oh can't you see it baby
You've got me going crazy
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Note: Original lyrics by Richard Marx (slightly altered to fit this narrative of a broken heart (think a Drew Barrymore moment on the baseball field in Never been kissed but quarantine style) needing some serious THERAPY. This song was the first we danced to at our wedding. I hope you will think of this moment, and the promise you made to me on November 19th 2004. read more
