19 months today

19 months today.

How is it possible you have been gone for 19 months?
19 months of doing it all alone
19 months of solo parenting.
19 months of making every decision and then second guessing every decision.

How is it possible you have been gone for 19 months?
19 months of never sleeping thru the night.
19 months of making food my greatest comfort.
19 months of waking up exhausted every morning.

How is it possible you have been gone 19 months?
19 months of grieving for you.
19 months of grieving our old lives.
19 months of grieving the loss of our future.

How is it possible you have been gone for 19 months?
19 months of having no one to snuggle with at night.
19 months of kissing no one goodbye.
19 months of no one to greet me after I have been gone

How is is possible you have been gone for 19 months?
19 months of rebuilding my life.
19 months of praying I'm not screwing it up, especially for Steven.
19 months of taking 2 steps forward and 1 step back.

How is it possible you have been gone for 19 months?
19 months of surviving.
19 months of living because of you.
19 months of taking new adventures with Steven.

How is it possible you have been gone for 19 months?
19 months of making new memories with Steven.
19 months of making sure your are included in all we do.
19 months of making sure you are never forgotten.

How is it possible you have been gone for 19 months?
19 months of a new life without you by my side.
19 months of ensuring Steven and I live a full life.
19 months of trying to figure out what to do now.

19 months....a lifetime and a blink of an eye all at the same time.

Miss you my love.  Love you forever.
