and, yes, a dog

Written last night:

Dear Friends,

A year has passed and I am more “normal” now.

During that year I learned:

I hate the word grief.

Grief is not sadness.

Clark is in many ways alive.

Clark still loves me — us — now more than ever.

He believed in us and treasured us. 

I am lucky.

I have family 

I have friends

and, yes, a dog.

Love,

k
