It’s that time of year again… Halloween has completely invaded stores and in some cases, (Michael’s and Kohl’s) you’ll even see Christmas decorations displayed. It starts earlier every year, as they say.
Children wane back and forth about costumes, family reaches out to discuss Thanksgiving plans and preliminary gift lists begin.
The last three months of the year are typically a blur to most of us. We scratch our heads in bewilderment wondering where the year went, lament over all the holiday activities, try to stay healthy and enjoy the magic of the season and precious time with our families and friends.
This time of year sucks for me.
I’m overjoyed about finally being pregnant and loving every minute of daydreaming about baby girl’s arrival, we may have found a house and just this morning, I ordered Lucas’ Halloween costume, but October 15 is looming. It’s a date on the calendar I dread the most. This October 15 marks the sixth anniversary of my parents deaths.
Six years.
Six years of milestones missed.
Six years of missing.
It still boggles my mind and the grief continues.
It’s just not right that they aren’t here.
This year I will be spending the day with one of my dearest friends getting pampered, followed by a mellow evening with my husband and son. We will launch a sky lantern and remember, as always with love.

So true! Thinking of you this October. Our grief gets so tied to times of the year and seasons.
Thanks, friend.
I can imagine how the change of season could be difficult. Thinking of you as the day approaches.
Thank you. I’m surrounded and filled with love and unforgettable memories.

Thank you, Heather.
As always, I’m thinking of you, Tonya. xoxo
Thank you, Alison.
I have tears in my eyes. Your loss hurts so much. I’m glad you will be pampering yourself, and that you have a really tight family unit in your husband and children to fall back on.
The hurt never goes away, but I do have an amazing support system and my little growing family. Thank God!
Oh thinking good thoughts for you in the coming week. It is a busy busy good good time of the year, but still. xo.
It is a very busy time of the year and in many ways, I am grateful for that. The distractions are nice.
That quote is absolutely perfect, Tonya. Thinking of you this month and always.
Thank you, Arnebya. xo
I think one of the hardest things about losing someone we love is the realization that all the memories we have are all there will ever be. It makes me want to chisel mine in stone so that I won’t lose a single one, but it’s already too late.
We will be sending you and Leah hugs next week and we are looking forward to real ones very soon.
Yes, you’re right and over time even the memories begin to fade. Missing someone is so hard and so very unfair.
Looking forward to those hugs! xo
I am so sorry for your unbelievable loss. The quote is perfect.
Thank you. It helps to write about it here.
I am grateful for how busy this month has been for me. It gives me less time to be sad and more time to think of the happy and fun things I have going on in my life. Of course, in all of that, I always think of mom and dad.
I think that I will be glad that I took the day off from work (my first official day off) so i can just be present for a bit and think of it all. I planned a lunch with a couple girlfriends who have the afternoon free and then Aaron and I are going to a baseball game at night. I am grateful that I’ll be kept busy for some of the day too. I wish that you and I could have coordinated plans together. Enjoy your spa day and time at home with Todd and Lucas. I hope that we at least get to talk on the phone during the day.
Sounds like you have a nice day planned too. I’ve been in a really weird space lately and while I’m sorry we won’t be spending the day together, of course, we’ll talk. xo
Love to you, Tonya. xo
