Today

 

I saw today coming a mile away.  I knew it was going to stir something inside of me, like it has every year for the past three.  Three years ago today we lost a friend of the family suddenly. 

"Suddenly" is gut-wrenching.  "Suddenly" shoves its way through everyday life, rudely interrupting the smallest tasks with grieving thoughts.   

That loss taught me that when life is taken without warning, it hurts.  The grieving process can potentially be ugly.  At the time of the loss, you begin to wonder if there will ever be a day that goes by that you don't think about the loss and everything it entails. 

These days, the hurt is less.  Some things will spark a bit of sadness, but not with the heaviness that existed before.  

I had a wonderful day today.  I had to think that he would be glad I did.  I went back and reflected on some great times.

This was my very first fishing trip.  It made me fall in love with fishing.  It is an addiction.
