One year

Yesterday was the first anniversary of Ben's death. A year of coming
to grips with living differently.

We interred Ben's ashes in the morning, very simply. Pete is in
Vanuatu, Andy in Canberra, so it was just the four of us in the rain
under umbrellas. Appropriate weather for such things.

Last night we sizzled sausages for young friends who seemed happy to
be together again in Ben's name.

    thanks to lindy and chris for the opportunity to come together and reflect on the year that we had to attempt to come to terms with Ben's permanent absence.
    yes our wounds are fresh and gaping still, and the anger tends to creep up on us.
    we find comfort in numbers so thanks for again opening up your home, which you so often do most graciously.
