🖤💔😢

I missed you quietly today. So quietly that no one noticed.

I missed you as I climbed out of bed and as I brushed my teeth; when I waited at the lights on the drive into work and as I heard the rain outside my window.

I missed you as I ordered lunch and as I kicked off my shoes when I got home; as I switched off the lights and climbed into bed for the night.

I missed you without tears or noise or fanfare.
But oh how I felt it.

I felt it in the morning, at lunchtime, in the evening and at night. I felt it as I woke, as I waited, as I worked. I felt it at home, on the road, in the light, in the dark, in the rain.

I felt it in every one of those moments, each one sitting heavier and heavier as the weight of me missing you kept growing and growing.

Yes, I missed you so quietly today.

But I felt it so loudly.

Steven has been on my mind constantly lately, starting with his birthday on October 29. It was also a punch in the gut when his autopsy results from July came in on his 45th birthday. I was so angry, I screamed for what felt like hours. Because I already knew.

Right now he would have been 48. And now my birthday & the holidays coming up mortality is constantly on my mind. Stay diligent, be safe. Even if you don't think so, somebody- & probably many- will be devastated if you disappear. For The Lost
