I took these photos on my phone the other day

The worst day of my life happened 10 years ago today. Don't ever let them tell you that time heals all wounds.

I took the day off work today just to be by myself. I never let myself think about it for too long. I don't usually have that luxury. But I decided to give myself today. Just to be able to think about it without fear of losing myself. I have nowhere to be, no obligations. I can sit with my grief and I can cry without having a timer running in my head.

I'm thinking about how I should be the mother of a 9 year old child. And I'm thinking about how in my experiences, that is the age when kids start to seem more like real people and less like babies. They're more self-aware, more introspective, a little more independent and developing their own sense of self. And that idea is both scary and thrilling. I'm sitting here wondering what kind of person they would be. And wondering how different my life would look. I can't help but think that I would be doing okay. And I think I would have made a really cool little human. That's another thing to grieve I guess.
