Today marked the 11th anniversary of my husband’s death. I tend not to anticipate the day but it definitely hits me when I write the date. I also like to stay vigilant because my children are aware of the date. I tend to think of my husband more in October–the day of his birthday and the date of our wedding anniversary. I prefer to remember happy days.

In some ways it doesn’t seem like it’s possible it’s been 11 years already and on the other hand, it feels very recent. I am thankful for all the support I have found in my life. I even get great support from my children now. Isn’t it great when things come full circle?
