a good friend sent me this quote the other day, and I thought it was a perfect follow-up to my post when you say nothing at all.
“If you know someone who has lost a child or lost anybody who's important to them, and you're afraid to mention them because you think you might make them sad by reminding them that they died, they didn't forget they died. You're not reminding them. What you're reminding them of is that you remember that they lived, and that's a great, great gift.” –Elizabeth Edwards
I couldn't have said it better. It's not that I want to talk about only Miles all of the time, I can talk about other things too, but I want to know he is remembered. Especially now, as time passes and life moves on for everyone else, and the shock has started to wear off for me and reality is setting in. Trust me, you are not reminding me, not a minute goes by that I don't think of him.
