Tomorrow is the fourth anniversary of Eric’s death. We went to the cemetery but it’s hard to grieve with an 18-month-old who thinks a cemetery is a super fun place with all the plastic flowers and teddy bears and balloons. Plus, there is a pond with ducks, geese, huge red fishes and little turtles. By the end of the visit, we were all laughing and feeding Klara’s lunch to the animals.

    Four years, my goodness. It seems both longer ago and a much shorter time. I’m sorry about Eric, and glad you have Klara. Feelings get all mixed up, don’t they?

    Amazed, too, that it is suddenly so long ago.
