Firstly, I would like to thank EVERYONE who called, emailed, blogged, sent a card or just remembered Craig yesterday.  Emily, Kyle and I were amazed at the number of people who remember us.

We went to pay for our lunch at Magpie's and Rhonda bought it for us.  We went to get massages and Jan called ahead and paid for those.  It was just one act of kindness after another...thank you.

Emily took the day off of work and we really had a nice day together.  We played tennis, which was so much fun, that we would like to try to do it more often.  Then like I said, we had lunch, got a massage, played with Hazel and then met Mike and Jan at one of Craig's favorite restaurants for an Italian dinner.  We reminisced throughout the day and laughed most of the time.

I think Emily and I both agree that one year is really no different than any other day.  It is just a day on the calendar.  Songs are still hard to hear.  Memories are still fresh in our minds and endeared in our hearts.  We will always love and miss him.  Holidays and things that he did will always be missed.  We will always feel sad that he will not be able to share in certain joys and milestones in our lives...Emily and Kyle's move, grandchildren, etc.

I know time does move forward.  Life does go on...........with a huge void in my heart.
