Well, it has been a couple of months since doing my 365 day writing quest. It was a much-needed break. Mari’s five-year mark for being gone has come and gone. It’s hard to believe it’s already been five years. Time certainly does slowly begin to dull the ache that once felt like an open never-ending bleeding wound. I know that for the rest of my life I will continue to mourn the loss of my daughter. There will still be those days where the hurt rears its ugly head as I ball my eyes out. But that’s okay. It just means I’m human, and normal for that matter. It shows how much I will always love and miss my daughter.

I’m starting to get that itch to begin my writing again. So, starting tomorrow, I will pick up where I left off on my journey. My hope is you will continue to join me. Please tell me if something resonates with you or if you just like what I’ve written. Receiving comments to something I’ve written brings me joy. It lets me know that my writing does have the ability to touch someone else, even if in a small way.

Thank you for being there with me.
