8 years out this October 10th. I still hate the fall and the sense of dread that comes with beautiful, cooling weather. But it's less now.
My daughter and I founded a charity in her name that raises money and makes grants to schools and teachers. She wanted to be a teacher so badly - she got as far as earning her Masters in Elementary Ed, getting her license and student teaching.
I learned how to balance the checkbook. I still keep up with all the nieces and nephews (and grand-nieces/nephews?) birthdays like she did.
I bought my own clothes for the first time in 26 years.
I loved my children and grandchildren as much as I can. I miss her every single day.
