One Year Hence

It has now been one year since being widowed and the pain is still just as real now as it was then. It’s really almost an impossible task to be able to separate the past from the present. My daughter is healthy and thriving and I am thankful for that. I hope one day I too can be at peace with everything. Looking back now, I could have done more in multiple areas of my relationship. I’m not a religious person, but I sometimes reflect on the Story of Job and the loss of his family. I wonder sometimes what did I do to deserve this? I still feel like I’m on on uneven ground, like the earth is shifting from under me. Hopefully, that will resolve itself over time after much contemplation.

On a good note:

My daughter is now 1 year of age and doing so well. I’m proud of her. Also, I’ve accelerated some of my own learnings and achieved a Google Cloud certification.
