Hey Dude,
I am watching a movie with Caylea. This is our fourth night in a row to watch a movie "together"--her in Houston and me at home--a way for us to connect. Tonight the selection was "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days." I can't remember if you like this movie.... We hadn't seen it in forever.
As I was watching I started thinking of how people often say they would "die of a broken heart." And they refer to this relationship or that one. So many times in my own life I thought that I would, especially when I was younger and immature. But over the past eleven months it still astounds me that I can live with a shattered heart, a heart that is missing a beat every moment.
For the past few weeks the denial has been frequent and necessary to go throughout the day. But dang it if the nights aren't full of reality. The reality that silence is deafening, moments of quiet end with sobbing and an intense longing for you, all of which is overwhelming.
I keep thinking how life changed in just a nod of your beautiful head. We did not have enough time with you here Ian. I know one day we will have all eternity and every tear will be wiped away, but it feels too long to wait.
I love you,
Mom
