Daily Comment

I married Nell Sanchez 29 years ago today. I make no reference to the fact that it was also the fifth anniversary of the murder of John Lennon.

We were very much in love, and, because there were complications finalizing her divorce, she was a very pregnant bride. We got married much later than we intended to.

When Alex was born, Nell went into a deep depression, and, for all intents and purposes, never 'came back'. As much as anything, my inability to cope with that, and whatever meaning it had for her, eventually led to her leaving me.

I think about Nell often. By the time the marriage was over, while there was still love, there wasn't a lot of like or trust between us. We lived apart for six years, then came back together so that she could die with her family.

There was always love. I'm not sure what difference it makes, but I did love her, and still love her.
