Ten Years

[jducoeur]

For most people I know, today is a day of celebration -- or at least, of breathing a sigh of relief at a particularly important turning of the page.

For me, it's a bit more bittersweet. I just came from the cemetery.

Mind, my life is good -- I've been unreasonably lucky to find love again, and for all that the past few years have offended the hell out of me, I can't say they've done me much personal harm, knock on wood.

But still, I do miss her...

Yes.
I've lost loved ones to cancer and other illnesses.
I still miss them.
I always will.
I'm not going to stop living because they had to.
But that doesn't mean I've stopped loving them.
And when someone you love isn't around.
You miss them.

You are not alone in this. I miss her too.

Virtual hugs for now, my friend. We miss her too.

She was a special and wonderful person. Of course you miss her. I expect you always will. Not in the incapacitating sense, not in a way that prevents you from being happy in love again, but a hole nonetheless. I hope that the many good memories bring comfort.

My FB memories reminded me. My deep regrets and condolences.
