One year ago...

It's been a full year now since Nana's passing.  Things around the house have settled into a new normal, but there's an awful empty place. It's getting easier to go through the mail that Nana still gets from the different charities that she used to give to.  I guess this is a sign of being able to move on.

We still need to go through Nana's things, and my wife is almost ready.  But not quite.  For me personally, a day doesn't go by that I don't think of Nana.

We know that she is rejoicing with the Lord.  No more oxygen tubes, no more walkers, no more difficulty swallowing.  She is at peace. We're at peace with it, but there's still an empty feeling.  I wonder if that will always be with us.
