passing first

As I sit here on a bright, sunny day in September I can't help but realize we've "made it" through all of the firsts... yesterday, September 13th marks one year since your memorial service.  We've passed all of the other firsts as well, your birthday, the holidays, seasons, harvest and of course, the one year date of your death.  You'd think after a year it would be easier but it really hasn't.  Although we coped through those first hazy days and weeks, it hasn't gotten any better with the passing of time.

All those milestones in your 23 1/2 years and I never, ever thought we'd be acknowledging this one on the calendar of life.

Miss you every single day.

Love you more,
Mom
