Five Years

Measured purely in hours and minutes, today will be 5 years since Daniel left this world, only that time after losing a child is different, without context and warped in ways that can never be counted on a calendar. 

To know that you will live the rest of your life and never see your child again turns every second into forever and it doesn’t matter how many years have passed because it will always add up to a lifetime.

***
I still miss him every second and I feel the pain as much as I did  5 years ago :(

***  
Beautiful boy. It feels impossible to have survived the last 5 years without you. My darling Daniel, I miss you more than words can even begin to describe. Our love will always be <3 span="">

Yes, yes, yes. It does not get easier. It gets...the same. If we're very, very lucky, we find new meaning and purpose in the name of our kids and the friends and family who support us in the now and the future. Blessings to you, Alison.

And now: what about the 5th year after Daniel's death - have you made peace with yourself and the fatal incident?

Alison said...

How will I ever make peace with it? I will write a post when I am ready, right now I am still in mourning. I can't believe you are asking such an insensitive and misguided question. I love Daniel more than my own life, don't you get it?
