A Year Ago Today

It’s been a year since Sharon* died. Though life’s continued on, It’s not the same and never will be Now that she is gone. Yet all who knew her hold her close With memories we’ve made, So in our hearts, our thoughts of her Burn bright and will not fade. We’re never sure when we’ll succumb To life’s strange ebb and flow, But oh, we lost a special soul Today, one year ago. *my brother’s wife

"it's not the same and never will be" - truer words have never been penned... a moment of silence for sharon, sad for your (and your brother's) loss

It is weird to realize how fast a year runs past after a loved one leaves us; it has been three years for my mother, and it seems like last week! I hope your brother is doing well.
