over the years

hi everyone... I hope you enjoy this chapter!

1st anniversary

I can't believe that it has already been a year since Jennifer and I got married in that Vegas chapel. It really is true that when in love, time doesn't make sense. That woman is my life, my dream and my destiny. things are of course not always rosey and we do fight like all couples but at the end of the day, none of those petty things matter because in her arms is where I sleep. I am so proud of the family we have become. With the kids loving each other and caring for the others like siblings, for they are the only reasons I think meeting 17 years later was meant to be and not just time wasted because of my stupidity

5th anniversary

5 years, together and married. I couldn't have asked for anything better. All kids have grown up. Max is off to Johns Hopkins this fall to pursue premed, Cy is going to Berkeley to study musical history and Seraphina is off to Dartmouth. Violet is in her 4 year at Yale and only little Samuel, who is 16 now, stays with us. From 5 kids living with us, down to 1 is really a big change, but I can't argue when I say that all the alone time I am getting with my wife is the best, I love those little things like making breakfast together before dropping Sam off to school and then grabbing a coffee to go from Dukkin. Life couldn't be more perfect

10th anniversary

Marriage is hard. It is work. Those cold glares she gives me hurt. Over the years we got used to fighting with harsh whispers as having kids in the house and fighting is not a good combination. Fights last longer and words sting more. I don't look at her and she then doesn't too. Between travelling to film a movie and a world tour we both don't have time for one another. The bed seems old without her by my side and the days she is there, her back faces me. I can hear her silent cries, but our egos prevent us from even looking at each other.

The children, who now are doing their own thing in different parts of the world, come home for dinner on the 1st of every month, too start picking up something is wrong when we are not together while face-timing them. The idea of seeing her makeup artist making her laugh makes me seethe with anger. I know nothing is going on but the thought of someone else doing my job makes me hurt. How could I let it get so far? 

Then we make an effort. finally, at night, we start to talk to each other, just like in the beginning. It is awkward at first but then we realise just how much we missed each other. she starts singing to me again and a missing part of me returns. It is slow but we do make up. 

20th anniversary

We go out for dinner and then come home, and watch a movie before pouncing on the other. We may be in our 70s but this woman makes me feel like a teenager every damn day. Her face has become more mature and we don't look like we used to in our 30s. But the way her face wrinkles when she smiles or the way her nose scrunches when she laughs is the most beautiful thing in the world. Her eyes sparkle every time I compliment her and her cheeks turn a slight tinge of red after every inappropriate joke I make. I love how even now when I whisper in her ear, she gets turned on. I love how there is no other person in this entire world I rather be with. Over the years we have grown to love each other in our own ways. it is not that our flaws don't exist anymore, it is that they don't matter. She still takes 20 minutes to do her nighttime routine and I still love a can of coke every day, but now instead of cribbing about that, she grabs me a can every night during dinner and I love watching her as she gets ready to come in our bed

30th anniversary

We will celebrate my 80th birthday this summer and our 30 anniversary today, I can't believe just how fast the time flew. It seemed like only yesterday that we got married and now we are together for 30 years. I fall in love with her more and more every single day and we have fallen into a routine like old people. I stopped acting and now just directed movies while giving lectures to acting students all across the country. Jennifer too stopped acting and now occasionally records music but spends most of her time in business. You have no idea what a big turn-on it is to watch her conduct meetings and wear that suit. My baby is a boss. We have lowered how much we travel and instead spend a good chunk of time babysitting our grandkids as each of our kids makes us proud every day.

35 anniversary

2 weeks ago, while Jennifer was in the bathtub taking one of her regular dips, I heard her scream for me, I was panicked and I was already scared as I walked in. Her eyes had tears as pointed at a lump in her left breast. We rushed to the doctor right after and waited for them to deliver news after a bunch of scans were taken. She said in a somber voice, "Mrs Affleck, I am sorry to inform you this but you have tested positive for breast cancer" That was the time my world came crashing down. Jennifer bit back tears as she asked further questions about chemo and the time she had left.

After much discussion, we decided to not opt for chemo as 1 good year was better than 1.5 where she wasn't even sure about what was happening to her. That night we cried and sobbed and laughed through our tears reminiscing all the times we had together. she sang our song as I played with her hair. the fact that I only had a year with her became more and more real. The next week all the kids came home for dinner and we broke the news to them. It was heartbreaking to watch them. they couldn't deal with the fact that their mom wasn't going to be there anymore. All I can hope is that we can be together for 1 more year

36th anniversary

Jennifer passed away 2 weeks after our anniversary

I felt like a numb shell. There is no reason for my existence, the love of my life died and took my soul with her

40th anniversary

It's been 4 years and it still feels like she is here. Sometimes I wake up in the morning and roll onto the other side to kiss her morning before remembering that she is not here. I pretend not to understand when all kids move near L.A. because their jobs require them to do so. I kiss her photo good night every night and visit her grave every week. I drop off her favourite flowers and eat a chocolate chip cookie there in her honour. I listen to a videotape she left me, treasuring her voice and smile, waiting to be with her. I know my health has taken a turn and honestly, at this point, I can not wait to reunite with her

41st anniversary

I finally meet her again as I head towards the light, my time may be up here on planet Earth but I am the happiest man to be back with my love
