Anniversaries
Missing people comes with loving them.
It’s hard to believe a year ago we were half way across the continent with some of the dearest people I’ve ever known.
And now nearly all of them are gone from my life.
Some are gone from everyone’s lives.
My life wasn’t perfect 12 months ago, but it had every component I could ask for: friends who loved me and knew how much I loved them, meaningful work, and I was doing personal work that I could only have ever dreamed I would get to do.
Today, I am unemployed, depressed and struggling to get to the end of each day. Some are better than others, but fighting anxiety has become a daily exercise.
The memories of last June feel like decades ago.
I pray for my friends and that their journey is a happy one full of love and contentment. I don’t know what tomorrow will bring for my family, but we won’t quit trying to find peace until we achieve it or die in the process.
Love is complicated and challenging. It isn’t the buoyant balloon that carries you over all of life’s problems, it is the mule that sometimes carries you and sometimes drags you through whatever circumstance you stumble into.
Wherever you are, if today is an anniversary for you, bless you and your special one. There is no greater gift in the universe than the gift of loyalty. I love you for that. I miss you for that.
