One year ago today ...

The actual "one year" was yesterday, but I did not get the phone call until just after midnight.... I believe it was 12:11AM...on the 16th. "Hey Andrea...." I knew.

One year later ... Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring and now Summer again. The sun still rises every morning and the sun still sets every night. Birthdays and Graduations and Anniversaries and Births and Deaths and Illness. The world does not stop.

But the world did stop, in my heart, for one brief moment. In that moment, 12:11AM, I knew my life was forever changed. But the world does not stop for anyone.
