Kevin died six years ago today. I try to mark August 2 by doing something I've never done before. Tried to make it to the Bruce Museum - knowing it doesn't but secretly hoping it has something to do with Springsteen. And while I was able to walk inside, the museum's closed on Monday. So I settled for visiting a new Whole Foods near me for the first time. Not a milestone, but still qualifies.
In so many ways it feels like it happened yesterday. But I also know I've made some progress. This is the first year that I haven't done the countdown leading up to today from July 21, the night of his first heart attack. I spent yesterday doing things around Huntington and the memories were good ones. Small steps. And as Tom Hanks said in Cast Away, I just have to remind myself to keep breathing. Who knows what the tide will bring.
