There are certain anniversaries we never forget--birthdates of our children, weddings and the death of a love one. It was three months ago, May 28th, when Celia departed this world, seems like just yesterday, but much has happened over the last three months, actually more then what has happened in the last three years. There were two anniversary dates that Celia and I always celebrated-- the day we met on November 1, 1997 and our wedding on October 7, 2000. In many ways she is still here with her painted pictures on the walls, our wedding pictures, a picture of us on the wall, her house decorations and her gardens around the house. The 28th of every month will always be in my memory.
