"People imagine that missing a loved one works kind of like missing cigarettes. The first day is really hard but the next day is less hard and so forth, easier and easier the longer you go on. But instead it's like missing water. Every day, you notice the person's absence more."
-Poppy, Back When We Were Grownups by Anne Tyler
To those of you who have understood not to ask us if we are "still" having a hard time... we thank you.
