Many years ago a friend in the midst of the disintegration of her marriage, told me she didn't want to be responsible for her husband's happiness.

Dog years and the passage of time
The youngest of my "boys" recently celebrated his first birthday and, while the occasion was a happy one to mark, I also noted the date with a tinge of sadness. That year certainly went quickly.
