I like the idea of the twilight, too.<br />xoMary Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12212750107782259674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394064155173705488.post-65496354678905933992012-10-22T21:08:36.370-04:002012-10-22T21:08:36.370-04:00Amy, you are coherent.

When I think of darkness surrounding the time of Henry's death, I think of the long, cold darkness of a winter light, in part because that is the reality and in part because that is how it has felt mostly. I want to keep playing with the imagery or different kinds of darkness or light within the darkness I expect to give myself different approach to this time of year.

It's not blinding in it's darkness as the years pass. But 5 is hard. Five was different. Not as dark as it used to be but still ... different. Your writing is beautiful. Sorry I"m not stringing together a cohesive comment... but I wanted to write something. I hope as December approaches you find some light to guide you to Henry in the dark. It will probably be him :)Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03740847681453723883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394064155173705488.post-46764553570645594072012-10-22T19:59:18.435-04:002012-10-22T19:59:18.435-04:00Renel, you are still so early on.

I say that not to discourage you, but because I suspect there are people in your lives who think that a year is plenty and that you should be ready to move on. I'm sure I've said this before, but I think year two is particularly hard. Year one is all about moving from milestone to milestone, getting through the firsts. Year two always feels like the real beginning of forever or a different awareness of it. Here, at almost 5 years, there is much light and joy daily. I just have the occasional shadow and this rough patch at the end of the year. I have beacons, wonderful mamas, who like my aunt showed me that I would get beyond where I was. I'm glad I was able to shed a little light on the path ahead for you.

Your almost 5 years. Your 4 yea...This makes me cry. Your almost 5 years. Your 4 years and 10 months. Your dark time but your light going forward. It is good to read that it won't always be dark becuase that seems so very very far from now, from my 1 year and 3 months. No darkness. Is it possible? I too have joy but your December is my June. When I read you and see your heart and your changing and your ability to grasp the good and joy. I see it in myself too but it feels very far to think of it not being dark. Even the past year I can see the transformation, without reading back. We do keep on going...but when does it become remembering without sadness?
