One Year

Well, here we are one year after Little Man passed away at the age of 18. I went back to the beginning of Green Bag Lady and gathered some of my favorite photos of him helping (he LOVED to help) make bags and pet beds. It's so very hard to believe that I started Green Bag Lady when he was 3 years old and it's still going strong and my son is now gone. Here's what I wrote today on my personal Facebook page (I wrote him a letter on the 5th of each month for the past year):

Dear Kyle—
It’s been one year.
One year of…
Loss
Pain
Sorrow
Heaviness
Anger
Grief
Regret
Heart break
Questions
Relief
Acceptance
Memories
Faith
Life
Love
Above all love. My love for you was never in question, never in doubt, never wavered, never died. I always lived in possibility for your life. Now I live in loss. The loss of a sweet soul who deserved so much more from this world. The loss of you to a disease I despise.
We are now a family of 4 but in our hearts we will always be 5.
I love you my sweet boy—Mom
