It's that time of year again...

Nine years ago tomorrow I lost the most important man in my life to heart disease. Monday will be the seventh anniversary of losing the most important woman in my life to complications from primary systemic amyloidosis. While it's definitely getting easier to not have them here on this Earthly plane over the years, it's the death anniversaries and birthdays that still have a little bit of sting to them. Our relationships were far from perfect. There were lots of bad years mixed in with the good times. Thankfully for all of us we eventually came to a sort of understanding and made peace with each other in the years before their deaths. I miss you and love you very much, Mom and Dad. You were both taken too damned soon.
