Six Months or Yesterday.

Over the past week or so I've been thinking about what today would be like and what it all means. For those who have not been counting, today it has been six months since Christa passed. She loosed her fight not for lack of will but lack of strength. She fought so hard and never gave up.

Christa was a wonderful mom. Early on in our relationship, I can remember her saying that she didn't think she really wanted to have children. Actually I believe she said if we were going to have children it would be me doing the "pushing". She tried to make sure that the children were exposed to as many things as possible. She taught them that beauty can be found in a pencil sketch as well as the painting of the "masters".

She was a beautiful woman. She had a beauty that shown from within. I find that as I look back through the pictures I realize "wow, I am a lucky man". To have been loved by a woman so with so much beauty.

In many ways September 18th could have been yesterday and yet it has been six months. I have been surprised at how many people have moved forward doing things that six months ago would have seemed so out of character for them. Maybe it is because we now have a muse or guardian angel. I hope to be among those who move forward and make Christa proud.

Christa I love you and I miss you.

Peace and Good Cheers,
Marty
