Happy Anniversary, Jova!
| It seems like only yesterday when we were living out a fantasy wedding. On May 24, 1999, Jova fans everywhere saw a bright future ahead for Daytime's hottest couple. None of us could have known that one short year later, Always would be in jeopardy of losing its meaning. Step with us into the Lewis living room and see how Josh and Reva spent their first wedding anniversary. |

Josh: What's that?
Reva: It's from that spa that we went to in Hawaii for our honeymoon last year. They're uh...they're inviting us back to celebrate our first anniversary. (laughing and tearing up at the same time) "Here's hoping that this letter finds Mr. and Mrs. Lewis happier and more in love than they were just one short year ago." One short year ago. I mean it doesn't seem like that does it, because so much has happened.
Josh: We fought through so many things to be together.
Reva: Yeah...yeah, well...I mean I can still remember hearing you say your vows. You know, telling me that...that you'd love me forever.
Josh: Always.
Reva: But not now.
Josh: Always, Reva. (responded quickly)
Reva: Yeah, well...no...not really. Because things have changed. I mean we've changed. Everything's changed. Everything... everything we did. Everything that we've said. Too much has happened now. I mean...where did it all go so wrong that we can't...can't get it back? I will miss you, Joshua.
Josh: I'll miss you too, Reva.
Reva: I'm..I'm so sorry that this has to be so difficult.
Josh: Hey, well. We'll uh...still be involved in each other's lives, right?
Reva: Yeah, Yeah. I mean graduations, birthdays, holidays...
Josh: We'll be friends. That'll be a good thing. It'll be good for the kids to see that.
Reva: Definitely...definitely. Show them that it's not the end of the world. That we do still love each other.
Josh: I will always love you, Reva.
Reva: Me too, Bud
This is not how we wanted to see them spend their anniversary, but the good news is that Josh and Reva are at a crossroads in their relationship. Always is still there. The meaning of the word, always is just changing. "Always" up until last year (1999) meant that no matter who they were with or where they were...they were always together in spirit. They were never truly apart, because in their eyes, they were each other's eternity past, present, and future. Even when they were married to other people, their heart was with each other. When Reva was with Richard, her heart was truly with him because she did not remember Josh. Every time Josh has been with another woman, he has always had Reva's memory to haunt him, or she was running around in a red dress trying to make him jealous, or marrying one of his relatives to get under his skin...the point is...he could never TRULY commit to someone else and see if there was love out there for him outside of Reva. She was always there.
This is going to be good for their relationship. I believe for the first time, Josh is going to find out what life is like TOTALLY without Reva. He is going to see what it is like to explore a relationship with another woman (Olivia), without Reva pining over him. Reva is going out for her own independence, and Josh is free to love someone else for the first time in his life. We believe he will return to his true love...but only after he explores HIS newfound independence. Meanwhile, we look forward to KZ's raw emotions as she learns for the first time in her life to cope without having Josh be her hero...without Josh hanging on her every word...WITHOUT JOSH...period.
Stay tuned to this site and Jova World for Jova Reunion 2000...or will it be 2001?
