November 11, 2015 - that is a date forever etched in my brain. On November 11, all I want to do is stay home, stay inside, stay away from people.....you get the point.
Some have no idea why staying away from the whole world minus a few is important or why it is done, it is done because that is the day my sweet child left her earthly body to gain a heavenly one.
It is a day that I should not be expected to have to do anything. I should not be expected to socialize, text, watch tv, work, etc yet, as usual some people forget the significance of that day. But, things will be different this year.
If you read what am I writing about and you've been paying attention, you know what I mean.
Most people cannot understand this but it sucks to be surrounded by people yet, feel so alone.
It sucks to have dates etched in your head but apparently you are not that important because people still forget.
I realize people have things going on in their own lives but, unless you are experiencing child loss, you will never know why dates are important.
November 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 - those are all days that I do not want to deal with people but, the 11th is far worse to me.
I promise you that it is hard to deal the other days of the year but, these are the worst. Dates are important to grieving parents, among other things.
John 11:35 "Then Jesus wept."
