18 Year Friday

It’s been a week of anniversaries, and we’re not finished yet. Monday August 30 was two years since Logan went to the Rainbow Bridge, today marks eighteen years since Dad passed away, Monday September 6 will mark four years since TMBWitW’s mother passed away. The end of the month will mark two years since LeaAnn passed away.

Today would also have marked Mom and Dad’s 60th wedding anniversary. This will be the first one with both of them gone.

Cancer is an equal opportunity slayer. While Dad did not die of cancer, but as a by-product (a clot blocked a vein), pink ribbons and donations just never seem to add up to enough soon enough.

Right now, today, I will remember Dad. Monday I will remember Grace. LeaAnn will be remembered when her anniversary comes.

Not that they will ever be forgotten.

Chat ya later…

    Thanks, GB – just got home from a memorial service for a dear Saint from our home group. Gotta get some sleep and shake off the funk – tomorrow is a new day, and God is still on His throne, and still in control.
