We don't really have an anniversary. Our relationship started out kind of unconventionally. Peter made a comment on my friend Rebecca's Facebook page. I told him that I thought that he was clever and funny. Shortly thereafter, he sent me a friend request with the disclaimer, " you seem lovely. I hope that doesn't seem too fruity."
Once we were Facebook friends, we started messaging back and forth. I thought he was smart and funny. And he is. I was in the middle of the aftermath of getting divorced and I wasn't sleeping much. My conversations with him became highlights of my day. He really is a fascinating man, and he loved listening as much as he loved talking. These late night talks got me through my first single Holidays, and many nights of confusion and loneliness.
Eventually, we started talking on the phone. Some nights he would talk to me for hours until I could fall asleep. His voice. It was kind, masculine, beautiful and calming to me.
I was dating pretty much anybody who would ask me at that time. I thought that no one would ever want me again and I was absolutely shocked to see that lots and lots of people were interested in me romantically. Broken-hearted from a divorce that I never expected, I realized that I didn't know how to "pick out" a person to be in my life. So I took a deep breath and trusted the Universe to bring me a companion if I was meant to have one.
Months passed, and Peter and I finally had our first date. It didn't go all that well. Strong and sure on the phone, Peter was soft spoken and shy in person. I told all of my friends that I wasn't planning on ever seeing him again. But I missed Phone Peter. Badly.
Date number two, he must have had a hell of a peptalk with himself on the way to town, because he was so overly aggressive and overblown that I found him insufferable. He left, I vowed that I would never see him again. But, you guessed it, I missed Phone Peter.
Date number three, the real Peter Kelleher came to town. Brilliant, interesting, sexy, fun Peter. It took us both a while to realize that we were pretty much in love before the day that we met. But we got there. And we have been together ever since. We just cant really figure out an anniversary per se. We have decided that the first day of spring will be our special day.
Oh, and we needed a song. Peter jokingly suggested Photograph by Def Leppard, because I love Def Leppard and all he had was a photograph for the three months that we talked before we met. So that was funny and cute and all, but that was not "our song."
We came in last night to hear Olivia Newton John's, Magic playing. I said, "could this be our song?" And he said, " I thought this already was our song."

Come take my hand
