Yesterday was my anniversary, twenty nine years, the longest, most successful relationship I’ve ever sustained.
And no it is not my imaginary relationship with Dean Cain, in fact it is not even a romantic relationship nor a familial relationship.
It is a work relationship, yesterday marks 29 years with the large telecommunications corporation I am employed at.
It’s been a wild ride, I’ve seen so many changes, some good, some not so good, some groundbreaking.
Let me start by saying I am extremely grateful for the opportunities this job has afforded not only myself but also my children.
As a single mother of three this job enable us to live in a neighborhood where my children could attend good schools.
It afforded me the opportunity to not stay stagnant in one position. I was given the opportunity to move to different positions within said corporation, each with higher pay and training for a more technical position.
I am grateful for not only the opportunities, but also the lifelong friendships I have made.
This relationship has given me more than I can ever imagine.
Especially now, with the benefits it has afforded myself, I can recover from surgery in peace, from the insurance I have to the short term disability that the union fought for.
I can also rest easy knowing my continued treatment will be covered and I can heal. I know I buried the lead again.
Cancer is expensive, so many doctors and so many treatments. I am grateful I can go through this and not have to worry about other things.
So happy anniversary to me in regards to my most successful relationship to date!
