June 17, 1994: O.J. Simpson drove his Ford Bronco across Los Angeles with police in pursuit and millions of people watching live on television. After the slow speed chase ended Simpson was arrested and charged with the murders of Nicole Simpson and Ronald Goldman.
I remember this distinctly. I was packing to leave Beloved Ex. We did get back together for a period of time after this, back here in my home state, but the first separation was memorable for the LA traffic copter soundtrack. It was just before our first anniversary.
We ate the cake topper as we divided our little lives. Strangely, it wasn't as sad as it sounds like it should've been. Many of you probably know the dynamic: once the decision is made to split, there can be a strange sort of post-marital peace.
Which, actually, is quite heartrendingly sad.
I'm still sorry, Sweetness. You're as good as a man gets.
