Conquering Demons

I went for a walk yesterday in the area to pick up some things. Enroute, I found myself at the intersection where, on March 6th, my world changed forever. It's the first time since that day that I found myself, on foot, in that area.

So, I decided to face a demon.  I  crossed the street and stood on the exact spot in the middle of the intersection, on the traffic island, where Kim was taken from us. At that precise moment, I felt a breeze and a sense of release.   It may sound kind of corny, but I firmly believe my being there "sent a message".  Kind of a hockey mentality.

We go through our lives these days, observing and encountering various "first days" (birthdays, holidays etc.).  September 13 become one of those days, in a conquering kind of way.  There are many battles to be faced.  We take them one at a time.

Another demon has been conquered.....To the rest of them, don't fuckin' mess with me!

Just Thinking

It's 11:30 PM, Wednesday September 7, 2011, sitting here by myself in my quiet house.  The kid is asleep.  That's where I'll be soon.

I can't get over how quiet this place has become since Kim was taken away from us.  She was the life of the party here.  I've been on my Sabbatical for over a month.  I'm getting itchy to do something work wise.  I will, sooner rather than later.

These are just my rambling thoughts while I sit here in my funk.  I really hate this.  The fact that she was taken away from me and I hade no say in the matter.  Because of a really fuckin' stupid mistake, I find myself in this position.  Drives me nuts some days.

My family (and I include my in laws in that category) have given me lots of strength.  Sharing with others is a blessing, especially with them.  Time does heal all wounds, but I just wish it would hurry up, dammit.

Typing this out makes me feel like I am talking to someone, feels less alone.  Perhaps this Blog will become my confident.  The shoulder.  You know what I mean.

Time to turn it.

See you soon.
