on our way home tonight the traffic was fairly heavy and as we came close to a large shopping mall I was telling my colleague about how there had been a vehicle stuck in the middle of the road, last Tuesday when I was coming home with my kids…

it was at that point that I realized it was just this Tuesday, the anniversary of George’s death, which felt like it had been weeks ago, not just three days ago…

I was shocked…

one of the last pictures I took before George died…

it really pointed out to me what a week it has been… Monday night with my BS friends, Tuesday the actual anniversary, Wednesday a staff meeting and running around to pick up items for the next day, Thursday a special event at work, and today a visit to the Legislature to celebrate International Women’s Day…

it really feels like it was ages ago… amazing how our body gets us through some of these things… I have been wearing those big girl pants all week without even realizing it…

no wonder that I was tired as the end of today approached… I have been numb…

I’ve been thinking that although the anniversary was very difficult to get through, it was much, much easier than the happenings of last year…

my beloved…

I have survived the loss of my beloved…
