One Year

I've been so busy that it wasn't until I had a conversation with my sister today that realize that the anniversary of my mom's death was today.

That's not to say I have forgotten that my mom died one year ago today. Who could forget that when your career changed on the exact same day. A whole bunch of little things that forever will drive the date into my mind.

I'm incredibly busy at work that I know what day of the week it is but I am not acutely aware of the date. Which is strange because it used to be the other way around.

I used to walk around going "What day is it?" and invariably someone yell out the numerical date and I would respond "No, not the date... what DAY is it?" Why I can never have both pieces of information in my head at once or relate one to the other is one of life's great mysteries.

Today will be yet another very busy day for me so it will distract me from dwelling too long on things. Don't let anyone tell you that means I forget cause I don't.

We've now completed the year of firsts that you go through when you lose a family member. I believe the healing process starts now for everyone affected by the event. Not that it makes any of those times in the year any easier just a bit closer to the acceptance that they are really gone.

...And the Band Marches On.
