Counting To Three: Nearly A Year

Three days.

In three days it will be one-year since Bob died just a few feet from where I'm lying in my bed right now as I type this post.

Three days.

In three days it will be the 365th day since I became a widow, since my children lost their father, since Bob's parents lost their youngest child, since his brothers and sisters lost their baby brother, since so many of us lost our best friend.

Three days.

The world changed on April 18, 2010. The world changes every day. The important things I've learned this year are to make sure to keep going, keep changing, keep moving, keep living. Most importantly, keep loving. There's a beautiful world out there left to be enjoyed. Bob certainly enjoyed the hell out of it while he was here.

I miss you, babe. I love you. Thank you. You taught me so much. You will forever be my hero.

I can't believe it's been almost a year. You are an amazing example of living in spite of your grief. Lots of hugs and smiles for you and the kids over the next few days.

Hugging you across the interwebs as we parallel each other in our journeys. You are so right--keep living, keep loving. Your Bob and my Julie would kick us in the a** if we did anything less, right? XXX

Absolutely!

He was infinitely loved..then and now. Forever.

Prayers for you and your family as you face tomorrow and the years to come.
