One Year

It's been a year

A year and one day since I last saw you breathe

A year and two days since you last really looked at me

A year and three days since we shared coffee and Maltesers

A year and some days since we had a laugh together

A year and some weeks since you left me speechless by opening your eyes

A year and some weeks since we thought we'd lost you and had to just wait

A year and some weeks since late night phone calls and helplessness

A year and some weeks since you told me you were scared and I said it would be OK.

A year.

Many years, many months, many weeks, many days

Of joy and grief, of pain and comfort, of laughter and love.

So much laughter and love. 

Thank you.
