Milestones

Yesterday was a big day. It was the 65th anniversary of D-Day. I was important to me because it was 4 years since my mom's death. All day long I didn't think about her death. I thought of her, but not her death. The same happened in March on the date of my dad's death. In fact, I thought of them on days before, but on that day, life was normal.

This a good thing. Until this year my Springs have been marked by a secret calendar that begins on my dad's birthday in February and end on my mother's birthday in July. The calendar was highlighted by the days leading to their deaths and after. I don't like that calendar of Spring. I'm hoping that this year marks the end of it.
