And so it is

Halloween marks the first holiday that you are no longer in my everyday life.  Time seems to move so fast yet trickle so slow at the same time.  We had a great holiday, marked with the usual minor forgetting of a detail here or some lack of time and money there.  I would say it was one of the best ones yet.  Even so, there is something missing, something I wasn’t expecting to lose just yet.  Something I wasn’t ready to be finished with.  We have not forgotten your absence, it has just become less acutely painful.
