This day rolls around every year. The 13th time since Kim passed away in 2006.
Today is a little different because this time I'm married, again. I married Lena 7 months ago today.
I have to admit- there are times when I almost call Lena by Kim's name. So strong are my memories still of those years with Kim and her impact on me. Maybe that occasional urge to call her by that name will subside once I've been married to Lena for as long as I was married to Kim.
We're comfortable together, Lena and I. It seems like we've been married for more than 7 months- maybe in part to the fact that I've known her since I first moved here 7+ years ago.
Kim would have liked Lena. I'm sure she'd be happy for me.
Today has not been the day of introspection or mourning that it sometimes is- of course the day isn't over yet.
Today I've been domestic and academic. I've cleaned house and worked on some things in preparation for hosting guests that will arrive tomorrow. I've worked on two different online classes that I'm taking. It's been a fairly normal day.
