Sis,
I read this the day you posted it but I had to get away from the day if you know what I mean.....and then boy did it ever. I completely forgot to come back and respond! BAD LADY.......BAD LADY!
Actually the day wasn't so bad for me this year. While I miss her so much, the pain is now like a dull ache that I imagine will never quite go away now. I am able to look back for the most part on these special days and smile. I remember the laughter, the good times now. The wonderful memories are beginning to get around all the pain of not having her.
I get the most of these kinds of days from telling my kids and now the grandkids stories of special days past. My kids, even given their ages are beginning to forget some of the earlier memories so it is nice to relive them and remind them of little things they forgot, hell and sometimes remember things I forgot!
But thank you so much for catching this and being there. You have no idea what it meant to me........then again.......I think you do know. But thank you again........for you.
Lady
