this day


Two years ago, this day was a Tuesday.

For the morning, I was married.

Well before noon, my kids had two parents.


But by 10:30 am, life as we knew it was shattered. Broken and irrepairable.


I will never know again life as it was before this day two years ago...And I will forever be scarred and lost without the love of my life.


I miss you, my Baby Pumpkin. I miss you. No words seem sufficient in describing the void that has been left since you've gone. So, I miss you and hope that somewhere out there, you know....and you miss me right back.


I love you the whole pie for eternity.....

    Hi Jackie,

    I've been thinking of you in the past couple of days. How far you've come that you've been feeling little bubbles of bliss this week. Isn't life strange and mysterious? You've done suck hard work over the past two years.
    Love,
    Nan

  19. I just found your blog, I am so sorry for your loss. I felt compelled to comment though because of this loss. We lost my dad very suddenly to a brain aneurysm on January 11, 2007. He turned 62 while in the hospital for 5 days. My mother was left widowed young and with children, very suddenly. (we were homeschooled children as well) you are an amazingly strong woman and as I tell my mother constantly I respect and admire what you have been able to go through. When life handed you the worst of situations, you have made it through and put your children first. Thank you for being an amazing mother. Your children will always love you for it.

  20. Jackie,

    I can't say much because I'm sitting here at my desk... on my lunch break... and I can feel what you're saying.

    Time changes some aspects of your grief I know, but you love him just as much as always, so of course you'll miss him just as much too.

    Thinking of you and Olivia and Briar a little extra today!

    This day,2 years ago, well maybe a few days after....I began checking your blog, Jackie. I was so relieved, although I didn't know you very well, then....when you wrote those first words..."I am still here." You must have been trembling as you typed. I just want to thank you for sharing these 2 years with all of us. I know we have all grown thanks to your willingness to share. I hope today isn't too hard on you. You've endured so much, Dear Heart.

    xoxo, Tanis, who loves you BIG!
