Remembering Elizabeth

Today is the 2nd anniversary of Elizabeth's death. I wish I could say it gets easier. It doesn't.

While we were on our way to pick up Matt from his school early to go to the cemetery, we saw a car with a license plate frame that says "Enjoy this wonderful day, courtesy of God" and I thought how very ironic. Today is far from wonderful, and I still wonder every day why God let Elizabeth die, in spite of all of the prayers.

Take a few moments to visit and remember Elizabeth.

There is a movie that you can watch (more of a slide show) that highlights Elizabeth's bright spots. I still talk to her in my head (out loud sometimes, but far less frequently). Sometimes it seems like she is still so very close. Other times the space between us seems infinite. Those are the dark times. But we put one foot in front of the other (because, really, what choice do we have?) and move through the days. She is still so very missed. And she is still so very loved.

Butterflies visit me almost every day. I know it is Elizabeth's way of saying hi.

Thank you for still visiting and thinking of Princess Elizabeth. Post a message and let me know how Elizabeth impacted you. I love to think that her presence is still felt, even though she isn't here anymore.
