It snowed early this year.

Last year it was late ... mid-January. I remember this, because I remember looking up from my son to see it swirling outside of our window, a few weeks after my husband died, and thinking about how my husband never saw snow. How he had been waiting for that. And how he didn't make it.

I forgot his birthday this year. I can not know in advance if the anniversary of his death with pass unnoticed or not. But I remembered this.

Grief is a funny thing sometimes.

I'm so sorry for the loss of you husband, and your little one's father. Grief is such a unique and suprising journey. Thank you for sharing with us.

I'm so sorry.

[Ifluffedthree]

I am sorry.
It is funny the smallest little memories can jump right out at one and others so important can be temporarily forgotten.

For us, the first anniversary of my husbands death was difficult for all of us.
I am hoping you may be blessed with peace during this anniversary.

I'm sorry about your loss.

Grief is funny like that. After my father passed 4 years ago, I've often forgot about his birthday or father's day, but am always amazed at the odd things that flood me with emotion and tears; a passing ambulance, a rainy day, swimming in my pool (something he wanted too but died before it was warm enough)...I never know when it's coming but it reminds me how alive he'll always be in my soul.
