Premise:
This day, May 5th. Cinco de Mayo for some, cinco de drinko for others. For me, my wedding date. Four years ago, today. At The Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas. It was once my most treasured memory, and sadly has evolved into one of my most regrettable ones. That marriage lasted barely three years on paper and it’s been well over a year since the last time I spoke to my ex-spouse. I’ve done a lot of healing since then. I’m a stronger man for the hardships of that season of my life. Still, a part of me can’t help but be contemplative on certain days of the year, this being one of them. It brings up an important question though which is, how does one navigate through these benchmark dates that so altered our life?
