Six years

Posted on Tuesday 4 March 2008

6 years.

2,190 days.

52,560 hours.

6 years since I saw his face.

2,190 days since I heard his laugh.

52,560 hours since he told me I love you.

6 years I have known grief.

2,190 days I have known loss .

52,560 hours I have known pain.

6 years feel like yesterday.

2,190 days feel like forever.

52,560 hours feel like today.

6 years I’ve missed him.

2,190 days I’ve missed him.

52,560 hours I’ve missed him.

6 years.

2,190 days.

52,560 hours.

    I wish I could say pain goes away, but it does not. I still think of my stepgrandfather with such fond memories and it has been 27.5 years. Hopefully this is the human side of us all - we grieve what we can’t have, don’t have and won’t have. When my grandmother died last year, it was definitely time. I think what I hurt for is opportunities lost to hear her story and to have my kids know her. Life is hard. It is not supposed to be! Unfortunately, I am reminded often, that live is hard this side of heaven.
