I will wear black today. In honor of Jim.I wrote a blog a couple days ago about the last tuesday of the month being the day of death. However Jim's actual date on the death certificate (that's hell of a thing to write) is 5/29 at 3:35am. So in three hours, it will be the actual one month anniversary.
In this picture Jim on a mountain we climbed in Massachussetts. You could almost see all the way to Boston. A beautiful fall New England day. Jim is there at the top of the world, and looking forward - as he always did.
My friend Don said in a comment "Sorrow shared is sorrow lessened." You, my friends have been sharing my sorrow and my love for Jim, and believe me it has helped. I have found the writing and posting of photos and sharing of stories - both the sad and the happy - to be helpful in this journey that I travel.
The pain of the loss of Jim comes, and it comes in a wave that is unstoppable. It comes in a wave that just makes the heart beat faster, the teeth clench and my hair sweat. However, to counter that, I am thinking more clearly (sometimes) and trying to go slowly step by step. Jim would have wanted that.

You are someone who understands. I hope you'll post again, soon.
