This time 16 years ago I was dressed like a princess in my ivory wedding dress, clutching burgundy orchids with my two beautiful best friends (Hi Sue x) ready to walk down the aisle.
If someone had told me on that day, that 16 years later I would be living alone in a waterfront mansion (!), working at the Wh1te Sa1ls Asylum and that Mr Katie would have ended his own life, I never would have believed them.
This morning, on my 16th wedding anniversary, I awoke next to my Boyfriend who I love more than I have ever loved anyone else. I was expecting to feel fragile and melancholy today, but instead I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the love and laughter I have in my life. I am experiencing a growing sense of lightness and freedom.

It feels like today, I am enjoying the “losing”.
