Its been a year now since Catherine left us. Not a day goes by that I don't think of her. I miss her dearly. It has been a challenging year doing things for the first time without her (birthdays, anniversary, vacations, family get togethers). The void is greatly felt. It was especially difficult being isolated out here at the new home. Thinking back, I feel it was perhaps a good thing, giving me a lot of quiet time to reflect on our life together and to learn how to move forward with my life. I have had a lot of support from family and friends over the year, and for that I am thankful. Emotionally I am in a much better place now and look forard to my next adventure. I will never forget Catherine, I can't, she was too big a part of my life. She helped make me who I am today, and for that I am grateful.
This past weekend Tim and Tracy came up to visit me. We looked at old photo albums, lit some candles in Catherine's honour and talked about good memories. It was nice.
Below are a collection of random photos of Catherine with family and friends. I hope you enjoy them.
