Two Years

So, here we are at two years post lost and I know one thing for sure; we did not die on this day two years ago.  A huge part of us did, but we are living.  Our living has taken new form.  Our day to day has changed.  Our routines have evolved.  We are living differently.  Our lens on the world has changed.  The people we depend on are new.  Much from the past was lost that day two years ago.  My children are left with a grand canyon of a hole in their lives.  All of the firsts to come that he will not experience, but they are living and will experience them non the less.  We have faced challenges and struggles we couldn't imagine.  They have become a part of us.  We have evolved.  If you stayed for the journey, you have seen the changes and we thank you for your patience with us.  To those that joined us along the way, we thank God for sending you.  For those who moved on, we understand and thank God you were once here.  In many ways we are lost and disconnected but we are working to figure it out.  The future is unknown.  We are heading boldly in its direction. We are living.  We know pain.  We know sorrow.  We know hope.  We know joy.  We are alive!
