"The hardest part of saying goodbye is having to do it again every single day. Every day we face the same truth that life is fleeting that our time here is short and to honor the fallen we must live our own lives well." ~ OTH

One year ago, my world changed forever. There are some wounds that time will never heal. Somehow, we just have to find a way to live with the scars.

Over the last year lots of things have touched me....whether they have been in books, in songs, in stories, in pictures, in memories, in smells.... More times than I can count, I've burst into tears out of the blue after seeing or hearing something that took me back.

But I think that the thing that has had one of the most profound impacts on me was a quote by Jim Johnson, the preacher at my church in Stilwater.

"Sometimes there are no answers. Just a need to trust in a sovreign God."

So that's what I'm doing today. Trusting and remembering, missing and loving, mourning and never forgetting.
