It is hard to hold back the tears when the anniversary of a loved one's death comes along. Why is it we realize how important this person was to our life only after they are gone.
When a thought of this love one comes to mind and a tear starts to form I talk to them and let them know how much I miss them. Some times it is a what should I do know type question.
It is beyond the knowledge of this frog of little brain but I know they are watching me, guiding me and missing me. It doesn't make their passing any easier but perhaps a little more comforting.
