Three years

Tonight will be the third anniversary of Todd's death. The heartache is still there, but it's veiled by love and surrounded by hope. The pain doesn't rule my life anymore. It's still there. I still carry it everywhere. It still stings me at times. But I'm no longer a slave to it. I have room in my heart for other things now. I have the freedom to live my life on my own terms. I still grieve for Todd, but the pain is overshadowed by gratitude for the time we shared.

Lisa, even after so many years, I still feel like that. I don't think about our loss very often anymore. When I do, I still feel pain that would be overwhelming, if it weren't encompassed by a far greater sense of gratitude, love, and peace. The peace brings with it the undeniable knowledge that Todd is well off, and he wants us to continue living our best lives. And that makes me happy.
