16 years 2023

 My sweet girl,  how can it be so very long,  16 years now. 

It's just so long.  

I miss you so. 

My heart aches.  ❤️ 

Words don't fit together to describe the journey.  It's mostly times of quietness for me.  Quiet grief.  Sometimes tears... sometimes silence. 

We'll go tomorrow to Lakeview Cemetery on the 27th, the 1st time since placing your ashes there last fall.  I don't know how it will go. 

Then we will join Christopher and Tiffany and Tom and Marty to go to Mi Bella for dinner together.  God will be with us as we remember you.  

Tim and Sally are in the Cinque Terre and will go to Manarola for you at the site of your death. My heart will be there with them.  

Tender.  I'm tender. 

Ache.

Miss.

You.
