Forever, it has been a count of firsts! The first kiss, first hugs, first gifts, first purchases, first frosty winters, first unseen & unending fight — a quarter-century.
Finally, as they took a walk down the memory lane, marking their first glorious anniversary discussing how life went past grappling.

Here & now, it was time for another year of firsts — first night in unshared bedspreads, the first vacation without each other, first celebration alone, the first anniversary by themselves.

It was a glorious first anniversary, which was cut out of their marriage as a sign of separation as they did not feel belonged.
