Three years ago yesterday. Sometimes when I think back it feels like it happened to another person. But, I know it was me. Because after three years I still cry. I miss him still in so many ways.
Facebook memories have a way of triggering emotions – some happy, some sad, sometimes both at once. Like yesterday..
Four years ago, June 15th was a Saturday. I remember going to this coffee shop for the first, and only, time. We were headed out on one of our Saturday morning adventures. It may have been to Pepper Place, or a record shop, or a bookstore. As we sat there enjoying our coffee, “I and Love and You” began to play. It was one of only two times we heard The Avett Brothers in-the-wild (out in public).
“Load the car and write the note
Grab your bag and grab your coat
Tell the ones that need to know
We are headed north”
But, we were headed south in our hearts in 2019; had been talking about our move to Jacksonville for several years. It didn’t turn out how we’d planned. But, if he were here today I’d say, “I and love and you… forever.”
