Trigger Sad

Watching Dr Phil this afternoon ,a couple was talking about their relationship and  I heard the husband say  how glad he is now to come home to his family everyday .

And then the comment was made how when  the family is all together  as  a unit every evening, everything is right with the world ...

My eyes teared up as I remembered  the last time we were all together was July 13th, 2002.

My mind played the sound of our car pulling in the driveway on the gravel and  Tom yelling "Helloooooo, I'm home "  up the stairs as  he came in the front door .

How sad I felt for Steff and I that we would never hear those words , or feel the joy of him with us  in the same room ever again.

Three years have now passed,every time I think I have hit a stronger  emotional level  ; I fall down  ,have to pick myself up ,dust myself off  and hope  that I get a little reprieve from the next memory trigger .
