Two Years Too Sad


So today was the big day; 2 years since Alexis died. I actually did ok with it (surprisingly). Making the memorial video was very cathartic. There's something about playing (over and over while you rework the video) the song that makes you weep in pile on the floor. By the time the video is done, you're all cried out and you've practically rendered the song useless. Practically! I think all the build up to the anniversary day is what gets me all worked up. I'm making a conscious effort to move on and get back to happy.  It's hard though because moving on means letting go and letting go means you start to forget things and I dont ever want to forget any single aspect of her. Holding on means she's here with me, not really gone. I dunno sounds kinda stupid but I think that's why I've been holding on to my grief for dear life for two years. If I let go, she's really REALLY gone.  But I'm sick of being sad to be honest and I need to be fair to Elvis to let him take up a place in my heart. I need to be fair to myself too. I need to be fair to Dave who's been putting up with me.
(unfortunately blogspot won't let me upload my video tribute WTF)

One Year Forward, Two Years Back

Monday will be two years since Alexis died. I KNOW you're all sick of hearing about it...you want ELVIS stories. tuff shit!  Not a single solitary day goes by that I don't think about her. And it's not just once a day it's ALL FUCKING DAY.  I'm such a mess. Still Angry! It's like she just died. I feel no further ahead than I did last year at this time. And that pisses me off! I'm trying so hard. I read my blog post from her one year anniversary and I was all "I'm feeling better, moving on, wonderful life, blah blah blah" ...shut the fuck up one-year-ago-Amy! I so feel like i was a step ahead back then and now I'm two thousand steps back. It's probably just the anniversary that's getting to me. (And it doesn't help that Monday is also the 7 year anniversary of my brothers death too)  I'm sure once the date passes I'll be able to move on a little more. (there's the optimistic Amy i know poking her head out!)   I'm sure I'll post something on Monday so I'll see you then!  Can't wait to see what next years anniversary post looks like.
