Hello. I miss you.
What's wrong is that a year and seven months ago today you died. (Or something like that. Something long and awful like that.) What's wrong is that it's been even longer since I saw you alive and fully as yourself.
The 8th of any month still sticks out against the other days; a subtle reminder of Time. One month Grandma took a scissors and cut out the 8th in her kitchen calendar, leaving a future month's day shining through the empty hole.
I wish I could do that with life. I'd cut "today" out and throw it away and make sure it never happened. I'd make sure it was just another sunshiney day.

About this blog
--------------------
During the night of April 6, 2009, my boyfriend, Micah, was in a serious head-on car accident and was airlifted to the hospital in critical condition. Micah was taken off life-support and died on April 8 surrounded by his family and friends, after about a day and a half of deteriorating.
I started this blog after the accident as a way to share my thoughts and writings as I experienced Micah's death and the following year.
It has now been 6 years since the accident but I've continued to write (at least sporadically) as my grief morphs and leads me.
Please feel free to subscribe or read what you wish.
If you are a "widowed-girlfriend," I would be glad to talk to you. To contact me, please email me at rebeccakraybill@gmail.com. Know that there is hope in the days and years to come.
Thanks for your continued prayers and support.
