Today I am sad

July 19th is an important day to me.
Important on so many different levels.
I have to say that this one caught me.
I have been through other things alone.
However this one kind of twinged a bit.
This is the first anniversary of the accident
that she is not here beside me to mark it.
Even last year after she moved out we got together.
It is the ninth one in total, but our first apart.
Sure, you have heard me express anger and outrage.
But I actually never thought we would get to this.
The bond from that day 9 years ago is gone.
Something that I thought transcended life died.
So for today I will feel the sadness of that.
And tomorrow... Another day dawns.
