It’s Angel’s birthday in a few days. Hard to believe a full decade has passed since I held Angel in my arms.
I had a dream about her a week or so ago that startled me awake. She ran up to me on a beach and yelled Hi Mommy and gave me a big hug. I saw her face so clearly, of what she might look like now.
Backpack donation is on again this year and my mom and I donated two backpacks for a girl and boy in grade 5.
The supplies are so grown up! A calculator and math set. That gave me a bit of a mind trip. 10 years. Double digits.
10 years without you.
There’s been a lot of pain in those years. There’s also been a heck of a lot of joy, hope and gratitude as I live my life without her. I’m really trying to live life fully and I hope she is proud.
