Today is my second wedding anniversary. And the first one Bülent and I have celebrated together! While last year it felt like a surprise that I had been married for a whole year, this year it doesn’t. Not in a bad way but in a good way. This year we have dealt with a lot of things, cancer, chemo, death and despair, and Bülent has been there through everything. He supported me in every way he could, even when when I took a leave of absence from my job to spend time with my dad and flew 5000 miles away—for 6 months.
I am very lucky to have a partner as wonderful as he is. I still feel like I did last year, ecstatic to have a BFF and a lover wrapped up into one. But even luckier this year, because I know when things get tough, things are still good.

I grew up in rural New England and in my early twenties I moved to Turkey with my boyfriend. I spent six years learning Turkish, and absorbing the culture and country. In 2015 I repatriated and moved back the the US. My (now) husband and I relocated to Austin, Texas. Our son K joined us in 2017 and I am now on the journey of my life.

Happy 2nd Anniversary to you both! Your husband sounds like a wonderful man and definitely a keeper. Getting through all of that together is awesome. I wish you and Bulent many, many more years of love and happiness.
It was a challenge but I could not have asked for a more supportive husband.
