Pieces

I'm not even sure where to start.... it's been such a strange, strange day.

I read Emily's wall on her facebook. One of her friends posted a quote that just had me in tears:
"when you lose someone and you're not expecting it, you dont lose her all at once, you lose her in pieces over a long time"

Ohhhhh.... that is so very true. That is exactly what this has been like. And today was another piece. Today was the first piece of the "Firsts". The first birthday, the first holiday, the first anniversary. It was a piece of all the big events that she won't be here for. Other people's birthdays. Anniversaries. Weddings. Graduations. Today felt like losing a piece of her.
