Today marks 4 years since cancer stole you away from us. The vicious disease robbed you of your health in your late 40s, the decade of your 50s and took you at 60.
At moments it feels as if it was yesterday and at other times it feels like it’s been forever, with all the pieces of our lives you have since missed.
When your relationship with some begins at 21 and ends at 60, you realize that person has been a part of your life longer than they weren’t, a part of all of life’s milestones. The moments of great joy, laughter and sadness. So much so that all the minutes that come after, can seem hollow as you’re missed.
There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about you and times when I still feel your presence. You are still a constant in our daily lives, never to be forgotten. Today we raise a glass to the man you were, the life you lived and the loss we feel. Hug your loved ones a little longer for us today.
I’m including a link to a recent article I wrote for the Bucks County Cardinal, “When time stands still after loss”. I hope it may help others understand what death does to our sense of time after.
