And today
In addition, yesterday was the 2nd anniversary of my father's death. It brings tears to my eyes just typing that - I miss him so much!

a little bit sad
The last few days have been a little bit sad for me - last Friday was the anniversary of my maternal grandmother's birth: she would have been 103 but she passed away in 1989. She is the one who taught me to crochet (even though I'm left-handed), bought me my first sewing machine and taught me to use it. She would be proud of quilting efforts.
And todayis would have been my FIL's 83rd birthday. It is the first birthday since he passed away last April so it's a bit weird not calling him today - WM will call his mother instead and make sure she is okay!

I miss my dad too. Anniversaries are a difficult time.
ReplyDeleteI can understand how so many anniversaries all at once must be making you feel sad, Lynne. So sorry you're going through this. It isn't easy, is it. I just hope there will be a few happy memories in there too :-))
ReplyDeleteLynne, I think the second anniversary is harder than the first, because somehow I think there's an expectation that the experience of loss will have diminished somewhat, and yet, it isn't. I suspect that's what it'll be like for a long time, if not forever. Last month, December, was the 2nd anniversary of my father's death, and it was very hard for me too. Combined with the anniversaries of the loss of your two other much loved family, it must be quite difficult for you. I just want you to know that despite how alone you might be feeling through this time, you definitely are not alone. xo H
ReplyDeleteYup. It is a tad unnerving to think about the people that have loved us and we have loved in return who are no longer among us. I continue to celebrate their birthdays and weddings....even if it is just me singing to them in the shower. That day will always be a special one.
ReplyDeleteI don't even bother to write down the day they died. That is like ripping a bandaid off to check on a scar....oh and while I'm there let's dissinfect it some more.
I'm sorry that you are hurting today.....but
I'm glad that your life has had things in it that are worth morning.
Sending a cyber hug.......it is a reminder of the loss all over again, isn't it?!
ReplyDeleteVery sad, especially having more than one. But your memories mean that they 'live' on for much longer. Some old Chinese saying along the lines "....remembering means they live forever......."
ReplyDeleteYes it is sad when these anniversaries come up of those that we love thinking of you
ReplyDeleteThe people who leave us never truly leave! It's hard but I hope you think of that when you feel sad.
ReplyDeleteOh I'm sorry Lynne. It can be so hard to have memories of people we love and know there will be no new ones. Having so many anniversaries in one spot is never easy. Thinking of you.
