Thirteen Months Today

[lcoxwell]

As of today, my Kenneth has been gone for exactly thirteen months. It has been thirteen months, since I have been able to look at his face, to kiss him, or to touch him. He was in a coma, when he died, so it has been just over thirteen months, since I last heard his voice or looked into his eyes. I am just feeling numb today, and really have no words. I just felt the need to acknowledge that he has been gone for thirteen months and to say I still love and miss him every day.

Hope you day went okay despite being the day it is to you.  It is funny how we prepare ourselves and steel ourselves for the 'big' days like the 1 year mark or our first anniversary without them.  It is these slightly off, unusual anniversaries that can really knock you for a loop.  Something that people who aren't in our shoes don't really understand.  They can't figure out why 13 months is so hard, and really we can't figure it out either.  We just know it is.

 

So again, hope you day was okay.

Thank you so much for understanding, mikeeh. Your reply was perfect, and just what I needed to hear. I hate that you are in a position to know what I was feeling, but I am glad to know I am not alone in this.

I wasn't near a computer most of Friday, but I did think about you, L. We made it through another 10th. What else can we do but keep going? (((((HUGS))))))
