Four Months

Four months ago today, I woke up and Tom was gone. I had been awake with him most of the night and finally fell asleep a little after 2:00 a.m. in the recliner. When I woke up, I knew he was gone. I remember thinking that I wanted to close my eyes and go back to sleep because as soon as I got up, it was going to be real. Of course, that isn't what I did because it was and is real. In some ways it seems like a lifetime since he's been gone, but in others, it just seems like yesterday. I miss you Tom.
