Very shortly it will be exactly one year since my daughter, Jennifer, passed away. In fact it will be in exactly 21 days from now. How can it be that time has gone by so very quickly, yet at the same time, gone by with agonizing, painful slowness.
We attend our support group as often as we can. Until recently, we went to each and every meeting. I missed a couple after I had my back surgery, and was starting to go back regularly. In fact, it was two weeks after my surgery that I went back.
Now, due to this infection, in one of my incisions on my back, we have missed a couple of the meetings due to conflicting doctor appointments.
This Thursday we are going to a seminar that our groups Chaplain gave us the information about. One of the members in our group called right away and RSVP'd for our group. We are all to meet up together outside, prior to going in. I am glad that we are all going together, these friends we have made.
Tony and I aren't doing very well lately. We are both well aware of the approaching date that is coming at us, like a freight train. Neither one of us knows quite what to say or do for each other.
Our tears fall every day, mostly several times a day. We miss Jennifer so very much! Sometimes the only way to escape the never-ending pain is to take a nap. Sleep has become an escape.
We just need our daughter back.
