Sharing a quote:
Grief is like the wake behind a boat. It starts out as a huge wave that follows close behind you and is big enough to swamp and drown you if you suddenly stop moving forward. But if you do keep moving, the big wake will eventually dissipate. And after a long enough time, the waters of your life get calm again, and that is when the memories of those who have left begin to shine as bright and as enduring as the stars above.
From the book -- A Salty Piece of Land, by Jimmy Buffet
*Peace
Adrianne, you are in my thoughts and prayers. One breath at a time, my friend. ♥
Adrianne... I hope you have PEACE Friday..... I really don't know what to say... it has been 3 years for me but all of the "Firsts" are so hard.
PEACE To you, Dick and Others having your "Firsts"
Dick, I am happy to hear that your day went okay. It sounds like it was a loving time of remembrance for you and the family. You were in my thoughts throughout the day, and prayers were said for you and your family. No day is really easy, but the special days are a little harder. I pray blessings & peace for you and all of us here.
It was nice today. I will post pictures when my brother in law gives them to me. We had the vigil at the church around his bench, about 20 ppl including my relatives and church members. The pastor said a prayer and we threw roses into the pond after saying our peace.
His ex-GF texted us support. I really wish she was my daughter-in-law, I love her.
I went with my wife to pick my mother up. We all went to the gravesite and placed flowers and played "Danny" by Elton John. We all lost it. We sat there talking about Danny for about an hour and then we went home. I kissed the marker.
In about 30 minutes, the wife and I will leave for a support group tonight. I will probably go to Compassionate Friends tomorrow night.
All in all, a nice but painful day.
