I was just saying to someone the other day how strange my life feels. How quickly all of it seems to be flying by...as though what time I had with Andie was really only a dream. It's hard to grasp that I built a life with someone and now it has all just vanished. If I didn't have my girls as tangible proof that he and I existed as a unit together I would go mad not really believing that any of it really happened at all. Even looking at Addie smiling in the rearview mirror this morning on the way to school I struggled to see that she resembles him. I was trying to see what everyone else sees but it has been so long since I've actually seen his face, and the girls have changed so much in that time that I barely see the connection anymore. They are becoming their own selves more and more each day. Slipping even further from him as they come to look more feminine and less babyish.
I came across this quote the other day:
"Life asked death,
'Why do people love me and hate you?'
Death responded, 'Because you are a beautiful lie and I am a painful truth.'"
It does really seem that way some days...that all the great and good was really just a lie, an illusion, a phantom-like dream and reality never really hit me until the day he died. The truth being that none of it really lasts as long as we want it to. Now that I am trying to move on and enjoy life again I wonder if I'm just telling myself sweet little lies about how good it can be or will be...nervous about when the truth will strike again.
