I made it through September 8. It's been four years since my Dad died on that date. And in some ways it isn't any easier. I really try to focus on his birthday as a better way to honor him, but Sept. 8 is still pretty difficult. I have to just get through it and know that the calendar page will turn.
And it has. Today is 09/09/09 - supposedly a magical day. But if not, it's still a pretty cool date. It's akso the birthday of my pretty cool niece, Claire. Her birthday is always the bright spot on the horizon during the bad day. The reminder that life triumphs over death. Happy birthday, Claire!
Miss you, Dad!
