out of the darkness

This walk is bittersweet. It's good to see such a great group of people come together for an important cause. The kids love to see their friends. It's very touching to see all the tributes to family and friends that have been lost to suicide. I miss Jess. 

I miss her everyday. I take note of her birthday, her anniversary to Don, her kid's birthdays, the anniversary of the day that she died. But there's an extra twinge in my heart and kick to the stomach when we walk for her. I guess it just feels like we're admitting she's gone, and we have to admit it again every year. We will continue to do it every year. I don't like, but we'll do it. Because we miss her and we loved her.
