Letter: 4 years

Dear Jen,

Today is here.   4 years since you died.

Last night as I walked the dogs after dinner, pulling Daydream in the wagon, I stared at the cloudless sky and felt the dread of today wash over me.  I sometimes still can’t comprehend that you are gone.  When I stop and think about it…that’s when it really hits me.  I live out my days doing the mundane and ordinary crap and I am alone in this world without  you and it’s all so blah sometimes.  I do fun things and smile and laugh and I think about you and I keep on keepin’ on.

My move is complete and I am happier than I have been in years. Today we had a play date with a new friend and it was really fun.  Sunshine and Daydream had a great time with Nora and I enjoyed meeting someone who I’ve wanted to connect with for years.  We talked about you.

I still miss the hell out of you though.  I don’t know how to say it any other way, how many times I can say the same thing.  Your death is the worst thing that has ever happened to me, this day 4 years ago was the worst day of my life.

I love you and miss you every day.  You are always in my thoughts and my heart.

Love, me.

    Thinking about you at this difficult time of year. Our anniversary of losing Eric is next week, and the dread grows every day. I am able to get through big chunks of time without being dragged down by his death…and then it hits me hard when I least expect it. I’m glad to hear that you are feeling settled and finding your feet out there. I hope leaving that old place behind helps you heal some more.
