What can I say?
My life changed that day.
And the rush for the finish line began.
To catch up.
It’s like … missing an essential part of what was “me”.
I don’t know how other folks doit.
One foot in from of the other, I guess.
No sympathy; no pity needed.
I have a great 40+ years. More than most; less than some.
I only regret the days I didn’t treasure what I had.
This ends what I call the “yucky season” — starts are Halloween (She loved the kids at the door and always made a game out of it!) and end at the end of February. Only bad day the rest of the year is 7/1 her birthday.
“This too shall pass.”

The phrase appears in the works of Persian Sufi poets, such as Sanai and Attar of Nishapur. Attar records the fable of a powerful king who asks assembled wise men to create a ring that will make him happy when he is sad, and vice versa. After deliberation the sages hand him a simple ring with the words “This too will pass” etched on it, which has the desired effect.
