No ordinary day..


Recommended Posts

Thank you, everyone, for thinking of me today.  I plan on doing my volunteering and not try and emphasize the day.  It was the worst day of my life and I would prefer to honor good ones like his birthday.  ?

I'm hope for no phone calls as it is the last thing I want to talk about.

anticipation was worse than the actual day.  They are all bad.  

That is so true Gin.

“Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart. Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow. Let me hold you while I may, for it may not always be so. One day I shall dig my nails into the earth, or bury my face in  the pillow, or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky and want, more than all the world, your return.”    By Mary Jean Irion

Never heard it before.  I am going to look this woman up.  It is right on point.

Here's another powerful piece I read today that seems to belong in this thread: 

Its My Anniversary, and My Husband Is Dead

POSTED BY KELLEY LYNN

Today is my wedding anniversary.
October 27, 2006.
It is late at night now, and I have gone through the entire day,
of my anniversary,
alone.
Without my husband.

This would have been our 10-year anniversary.
An entire decade together.
All the things that might have happened,
in those 10 years.

The house we might have searched for together,
and bought.
Or the condo,
because my husband always vowed that while he would move his entire life from Florida to New Jersey for me,
he drew the line at having to shovel snow.
So, he wanted a condo, so that someone else would do the snow-shoveling.
The family we might have had,
the kids we may have birthed,
or adopted,
the sons or daughters that would have played with my brother’s kids,
and would have made me a mom,
and made my husband the best dad any kid could ever have.  Read on here.
