Saw the eclipse and was thinking how much Troy would have enjoyed seeing it. I’m coming up on the ten year anniversary of his death and seems like there are triggers I am coming upon. I was trying to shred some old documents and I kept coming across his appointment details when he was doing chemo. I felt all those feelings again, they seem more distant now but they are still there and I am sure they always will be. It’s just something you can’t run away from, grief follows you everywhere. It never leaves but it does change. I mean how can you spend more than 40 years with someone and not expect their death to follow you forever. There are millions of memories that you find yourself stumble upon. Especially when they were the glue of the family, which he was. Our family will never be the same, nor should it be. Whenever you lose such an important person in your family, just realize you are forever changed. Forward it is…..
