I have been missing you for almost a year.  Every moment of everyday, missing, longing, aching.  Long phone calls have been replaced with faded memories.  The joy of Holidays and family vacations, are now threatened with sadness, aching masked with soft smiles, as we all try to celebrate around the gap.  Laughing until our stomachs hurt, has been replaced with muffled sobs. The ache never goes away.  I am forced to make room for it, hidden behind every smile. You are always on my heart and mind, these last 11 months.

And in 10,000 years, 11 months won’t seem very long, but it does today, Grant, it seems like such a long time today.

Missing you Grant, every moment, of every day for these last 11 months…
