A funny thing

Grief is a funny thing. All human beings will experience it. We know that our parents will probably die before us and as we age we will lose more family members and friends. This knowledge and even acceptance of these facts does not make grief any easier to bear. Losing a child, even an adult one, just adds another facet to the process. A year and a half later I can be driving down the road on a beautiful September afternoon and the reality strikes like a punch in the gut and the unending supply of tears begin again.
