Time

I realized something last week. 

I thought about Gloria's accident, and I realized that it didn't feel like it happened yesterday. 

Even though it's been almost a year and a half now, it's always felt like it just happened. The immediacy has always been unsettling, like I was going to feel raw for the rest of my life. 

It was always a jolt. 

Last week, I realized it didn't feel that way anymore. It feels like something that happened in the past. It doesn't make it any less important, or less life-changing, but the rawness isn't there. 

I know some of you have been through similar things, and I wonder if you've had the same transition, and how much time passed before it happened.
