2 Months

by | Sep 6, 2010 | 0 comments

Is today two months since it’s September 6th and you died on July 6th?  Or is two months eight weeks?  I guess I don’t even know and maybe that’s why the date keeping thing hasn’t been as important to me- either that or I’m just not in “time” yet.  I know for some people it is a very important part of their grieving process…and in the past, I’ve very much memorized and counted dates and anniversaries of dates.

This is different to me.  Each day that you’re gone is felt and pained.   Another day that you’re gone is enough of a marker- a specific date doesn’t make it any different.

Mornings and moments- these are the markers now- the anniversaries.
