On 6th September 2000 I met a wonderful woman, and three years later after meeting her twice more, I finally plucked up the courage to ask her to meet me socially. We spent a fine afternoon at the Orchard in Grantchester. This was to be our first date, on 22nd June 2002. What followed were 13 months of happiness, some of the best times of my life.
Blog posts like this usually end in marriage proposals and suchlike, don't they?
In July 2003, the shit hit the fan when my brother-in-law died. I was really thankful to be in a strong relationship, and it was this relationship that got me through what were probably the worst weeks of my life so far, and several pretty grim times since then.
Unfortunately, it's times like these that relationships are really tested, and it seems that this one was not meant to be. This evening, the woman I love sent me away. So this story doesn't have a happy ending. Sorry about that.
I won't be blogging for a while. (I probably shouldn't have blogged this, but, well, fuck it. I can't sleep, and maybe writing about it will be psychotherapeutic or something.)

The same applies to life, yeah it can be *really* shitty at times, but sometimes you've got to say "fuck it" and just get on with things.
Best of luck.
