Today marks the 1-year anniversary of my step-sister Margie's death. My motto is that looking forward is best, while on the same coin, it's important to remember what has happened in the past (and not dwell on it). The past makes us who we are today and without certain events, we wouldn't have gotten to where we are now. So today I'm trying hard not to recall the events that happened that day last year, but rather trying to take a moment to remember how beautiful she was, or the sound of her contagious laugh. I'm thinking about what kind of mother she would've been, and how wonderful it would've been to have another niece to love.
It's crazy how things that happened a year ago can seem as fresh as yesterday, while at the same time feeling like they occurred a lifetime ago!
Beautifully spoken!
