The Second Year
It has been two years now since our sweet Eden passed away. Two years since I kissed her sweet face for the last time. Two years since she returned to her Heavenly Father. I love her and I miss her so much and I still think of her every day, but this year has been easier. I use the analogy of a wound for people. When the cut first happens it stings, hurts, oozes and aches so much. It is almost constant. Then it scabs over, but at first the scab is so very tender and it can split, break, ooze or bleed at any moment. However, over time and with lots of love, care and patience the scab is stronger and will finally become a scar. Now the scar will never go away and occasionally it will itch, burn or ache but not to the extent of the fresh wound. It is just there as a constant reminder of the history of the wound and when you look at it or touch it, you remember it's history but without as many emotions or hurt. This is completely how it is with me and the entire experience with Eden. I will NEVER forget any moment with her and my heart will always have a small hole left by her passing, but the sting and the burn is not there. I know this is what Eden would want for me, for our family. Marcus always tells me that life is for the living and I have to embrace the children I have here with me.
