It's been almost three years, and to be honest, i don't think about em nearly as often as I used to. Probably the healthy way that trauma works itself out in a person over time and through my continuing to live life.

But there are still many moments during the day when I just wish I could hear her quirky remark on a situation I'm alone in witnessing, benefit from her unassuming wisdom, hug her for a long time, and drink white russians 'til the sun came up, again. She's gone from tangible reality. but (sorry for the cliche)...she really is always with us in our minds and spirits.
