If last year was the year that came and went, this is surely the summer that is well on the way of following in last year’s footsteps. Many people will tell you after a tragic event, that Life goes on. What they don’t tell you is that even though life does indeed go on, it’s never really quite the same. At least not yet. This time last year, it was the day before we found out that my oldest sister had cancer. Now, a year later, here I sit… wondering how a year went by so quickly that all I can remember are hospital visits and two funerals. One thing I know for sure is that Time is really what goes on, and what’s left of it has become very precious to me. So, this past year has added a few more markers to my life… The Saturday after my moms birthday will be remembered for the bad news that it brought, and May the 18th will be remembered as both my oldest sisters birthday, and the day she passed away sixty years later.

For the rest of us, Life Goes On.

It surely does.
