2 Years

The summer got away from me and last Sunday Kevin had been gone for 2 full years. I spent it at Mason's 11th birthday party. I see the kids get older and grow up. I wonder if they will even truly remember Kevin in a few years or if he will just be someone people talk about that they think they remember. I am moving forward in life at a fair pace. Charlie is back st work and I am back to volunteering again. I am leaving for South Padre next Saturday for a week. This is the first real vacation I have had in 6 years. I am looking forward to this next adventure.
I have learned the most important lesson in surviving the death of your life mate. You can never forget him but you have to let him go or you will have to die with him. That was not an option. I have learned to put things into perspective, life moves and you have to move with it. This is the 10th anniversary of 9-11 and I have seen the memories of those lost revisited all week. Above all else I get to remember the man I loved for the majority of my adult life, and will always in some way. I have learned to love myself as me and not we.
