How Year 4 Went

1,461 days after Alice died, which is to say on the 4-year anniversary of her death, I feel pain, and sadness, and I miss my sister. What's remarkable to me is I haven't cried at all. Will that change before I go to bed? It seems unlikely.

Did time do this? Is it a matter of spilling enough tears over the years?

Like many experiences in the aftermath of losing Alice, I struggle to accept the dry-eyed nature of this anniversary. At the same time, I marvel at how Alice's energy continues to permeate the world.  She brought Sophie and me together today.
