Hello. It has been awhile. Thirty days to be exact. I was planning to post on another subject for my return post, but I received a phone call today. My sister n law's father painful life ended this morning. My kindred spirit and thoughts went to her, her mother and brother. I know that this day would be one of her worst days of her 42 years. And as the day ticked into the night, I thought more about her and about the month of March. It hit me that her father's death marked the seventh death in March which I had a personal connection to.
In the beginning of March, it had been one year since my dear friend not only lost her father, but also her grandmother with in two day of each other. March 5th was the day I lost a childhood friend to AIDS twenty-two years ago. On March 24th, it will be nine years since my own father past away. March 28th will be sixteen years since my great aunt past away. And ending the month, on March 29th, eleven years ago, my uncle past away. Each one of these people had indirectly or directly touched my life.
March has given me and example of how we are forced to move on. Even on those days where something so painful as losing someone you love will force you to "reboot" yourself time after time. Pushed to eventually "March" on. It doesn't mean that the memory of them is no longer there. I recall the memory of each person as if it were yesterday. Take it from me, Don't be afraid to "reboot" as many times as needed and always remember to "March"on!
