Dates

Yesterday I had a meltdown. I have a thing for dates. I remember my first big crush’s birthday to this day, I remember the date I left Ohio to move to Colorado, I remember the date of M’s first email to me, Yesterday’s date brought lots of emotions with it - 4 years ago M was diagnosed with a growth on her kidney that was cancer at the same time she was diagnosed with gallstones. Rollercoaster of emotions all day long. Anger, sadness, and regret. I journaled on and off all day to process the feelings.
