This is a big month. Another Mother's Day, which will be more painful than last year. The fog has been replaced with the reality of Joe being gone, which has settled deep in my heart. And in three weeks Tony and David graduate. We all say where has the time gone but I know where the time went. For four years we were focused on Joe and then it was the spring of their Junior year with the college machine running at full speed. We missed most of Tony and David's middle and high school years.
Tony and David's matriculation will be a celebration as opposed to the sheer miracle that Joe was able to attend his graduation after fighting low blood counts for a week. So after seven years we will bid farewell to McCallie and the extraordinary people who shared their love and support. Yes, we will miss them all. It may be the last opportunity to place rosemary where Joe's ashes are spread, it will be the uneasy feeling of him not being part of the celebration.
But we will feel his joy and pride for his brothers. No doubt his spirit will be with us on that day.
