Yesterday was the three year anniversary of our Jack’s death.
We visited the cemetery in the morning before heading back to Utah after our Christmas vacation. It was a beautiful morning and we were all in high spirits. When we arrived to Jack’s headstone, we found some other visitors there as well.
We all got a good chuckle about that.
We spent the rest of the day driving back to Utah, and Adam and I shared some thoughts and memories about that day three years ago. The grief wasn’t quite so strong, however, for either of us. In fact, Jack’s birthday was a lot more emotional for me then this death anniversary.
For me, I think it’s just a toss of a coin whether or not Jack’s death date is an extremely difficult day for me. Sure, it’s a sad, sad, day. And I don’t look forward to it. At ALL. But, I could wake up on any given day of the year and just be totally devastated and heartbroken about losing my son. Yesterday morning, I woke up still riding on the shirt tails of my sweet Jane’s first birthday, so this anniversary, I was at peace.
Three years is a long time to miss your baby though, and we sure do miss Jack. I wish he was here with us. I think he would have a pretty happy life with us. I am certain he checks in on his family from time to time and he knows how very much we love him. One year down until we meet again.
I’m so glad you were in vegas for the 29th. love you all
So I haven’t been on your actual “blog” for awhile. I read through google you know. Anyway, love the new layout. Not sure how “new” it is though! That picture of the geese is funny. Are those geese? I don’t know my birds. Happy angel day to Jack though. We love you!
