For you, for the Future You, for the Future You (kids if you choose to have them) ... enjoy these moments and look back at them as you 'earn' new "HAHAHAHA" moments as well as the "FML" moments.
-They all balance out. I hope- for you and yours.

I've had good, I've had bad, but what I've had day in and day out is a Spouse that has loved me and taken care of me and accepted me even when I've rejected, withdrawn, and as I've even had to pull her back into the world. Marriage is a compact built upon trust and care, and it sounds as if yours has the most solid foundation you can have- humour.

Good luck. I'd send you a wilted yellow rose with the caption of "From Bessie the Cow, I miss your suckling", but you know that might not go over as well as I'd hoped...

Yeah, I just tapped on this notification because the title reminded me of a time I called out sick, and then settled back into my sweaty, feverish, nightmarish fugue, relieved I’d gotten that out of the way; the next day I discovered I only THOUGHT I’d called out. Accidentally pulled a no-call-no-show. I still cringe about it.

Here’s the plan. I know you already apologized, but take a step back, and a week or so away from everyone, and then comeback and apologize again, but tell them how you will change (like not drinking again) to ensure it doesn’t happen again. And tell them that you understand how they feel and you are willing to work on your relationships with them , and you know it will take time, but they are important to you and you hope that they will give you another chance. This type of genuine reflection on your actions, as well as a plan to improve in the future, are the ingredients for true everlasting friendship and show that you are serious. Good luck

Knocking it over was an unfortunate accident. But what you did afterwards was horrible and I wouldn't forgive you for that if it were me. You disposed of the spilt ashes instead of letting her try to salvage them to the best of her ability. And then you went even further and contaminated the ashes in the urn forever with sand. That's so cruel and disrespectful. And here you are "LOL"ing about it...
