Jane, this is so beautiful. And may I go so far as to say that I think every time you notice something about the length of days etc, it might be his way of giving you winks from the other side. The way you describe the daylight references as something he would always do, and that his passing was on the solstice.... Know his energy is swirling about you and the girls and will be taking care of you forever... maybe he is just trying to get your attention!!

Jane, your posts are so beautiful and impactful. As long as they help you heal your heart (as much as it can be), selfishly, I hope you will continue to write and post them for all of us...xoxo

Lovely. That incredulous feeling that other people can simply go on with their lives when our world has stopped is so real in grief. One day at at a time.

My grandmother would ruin summer for us when we were children by declaring on the joyous first day of summer that the days would now be getting shorter. Devastating news to a kid awaiting a fun-filled summer vacation. She’s been gone 25 years and I still hear her in December, announcing the start of longer days. It gives me hope that I can make it to spring for all the beauty it brings. We continue praying for you.
