Although Clint's journey here on earth has ended, mine continues and as I've found writing for the blog to be somewhat cathartic, I'm going to continue for a bit.
Today is my birthday-the first one in many years without Clint and I feel so sad it's physically quite painful at times. My sister gave me a beautiful silver locket containing a picture of Clint, so I have him close to my heart.
We went to a lovely church service, but I found it hard to celebrate a god who is so indiscriminate that he would allow someone as good as Clint to die, while rotters live on. I guess there are reasons, but hard for me to make any sense of them just now.
I'm told by people that every day will get a little easier and time heals-sure hope they're right!
Dear Sue, I was especially thinking of you yesterday, knowing I could not wish you a "Happy Birthday" when such a big piece of your life has gone missing. Off course you could not have had a happy birthday yesterday... too raw, too soon, too sorrowful. I hope you got my message. I am so glad that Jennie and Pearl are with you. Hope to see you soon.
