So 2 yrs ago today, on February 11, my friend Margaret died in a car wreck. Her 2 girls were with her. The other driver was driving recklessly and Margaret ended up dead when the vehicle rolled. Her girls are ok. Alive. Missing their mother.
My younger son was 4 mos old, my daughter was 6. My older son was 7 but didn't want to go to the funeral, so we let him go to school.
It rained.
She was buried on Valentine's day. She had died on my husband's birthdate.
I will never forget how her husband looked that day. He needed help standing. He was... in shock. Stunned. Horrified.
In July 2007 my aunt killed herself. In December 2007 a friend died of heart failure. In February 2008 Margaret died. In November 2008 my husband's mother died of heart failure.
It's just hitting me today.
