Most Recent Reflection
View all 149 Reflections5 years ago today was the last time we spoke. Even though your EOW is 1-21-15, I always have thought you’ve been gone since the 8th.
Two weeks of praying and hoping and willing you to wake up. The waiting was the hardest part.
You are missed immeasurably. The ache is duller, but deeper and the scar is faded now.
Mine would still be you.
You are loved, beyond.
