Today is the six year anniversary of the day my friend lost her brother in the most devastating and public way. I sent her my love and hugs on Facebook and sympathized with her from a distance, but I don't understand her pain and I am so fortunate that I have no idea what she is going through.
The only people that I have lost are my grandparents and although that was devastating at the time, I have moved on without scars. I can't even imagine not being able to pick up the phone and talk to my sister or my parents whenever I want. Could I move on from losing any of them? Could I get out of bed and put one foot in front of the other? I honestly don't know.
So, I am thankful that I don't have to deal with Kalhanie's pain today. That I get to just spend the evening with Claire at Starbucks conquering grade 5 math and that I can phone my Mom on the way home to discuss her quest for Roughrider green salt and pepper shakers and tell her that I love her.
