I was thinking this morning of all the family events - births, baptisms, weddings, parties, Halloweens, Thanksgivings, Christmas Eve's and deaths that have happened since Mark's death eleven years ago today. Eleven years ago he had no grandchildren - now there are two grandsons - Elliot and William; eleven years ago he had no great nieces or nephews - now there are two great nieces and four great nephews - eleven years ago there was only one wedding of his siblings' children that he attended - four more were to follow; eleven years ago his son Markie was a little boy not yet 6 - he will soon be 17 years old this month, and eleven years ago Grandpa Frank and Grandpa Jim were still with us. November - the month of All Saints and All Souls - all rest in peace.
We miss each and everyone of the people we've lost Mom.
