pillar of salt

Today is for looking back.

Two years ago McKay left this earth. Two years ago the world seemed to open up and swallow what was left of reason and fairness. The calendar says this, but it feels like yesterday. And also feels like never---like a dream that I woke up from quickly but have continued to replay until the details have clouded or focused as much as they ever will.

Life moves on as it always has.

Are we happy now? Yeah, I think most of the time we are. But we miss our little guy. He is in everything we do and everything we are, but he isn't there to look at or laugh with or to smile that smile...

----------
Today is for looking back. But it's purposeful. Today says, "Be kind." Be so kind today and tomorrow and all the days after that. Then all the looking back will be sweet and short and will inspire the moving forward that the world seems to push for so naturally.

    Becky, your perspective and the way you deal with this life-shaking trial is such an inspiration to me. We all love you and are so lucky that you're in our family.
