This Day...One Year Ago.

It's hard to believe we were here just one year ago.  

It feels like forever.  It feels like yesterday.

I have no doubt that day will haunt me for the rest of my life.  The sights. The looks of fear from on-lookers in the waiting room, praying as we had so many times that it not be them in our shoes. The heart-breaking pain. The overwhelming grief as my strong, put-together husband crumbled like a ton of bricks into my arms at the hospital.  The strange relief as one kind of suffering ended...but another began. One year later I can put myself into the same exact moments and relive it like it was happening all over again.

Mike, not a day goes by that we don't miss you or think of you. We talk often about you to our boys.  Show them your pictures.  We laugh and compare some of their stubborn and opinionated tendencies to you.  It's hard to fathom that you're gone. But on days like today it comes screaming back at us like a freight train.

Prayers for our family today would be much appreciated.  We are going about our lives as usual, but its certainly no ordinary day for us.
