One Year

[This was originally posted on Facebook.]*

Today marks one year since I lost the love of my life, one year since the world lost Della.

I want to share how I'm passing the day

I woke up alone in our bed and reached over and touched her sweater that lies next to me every night, as I do every morning
I lit a candle, as I do the 18th of every month. Afterall, today is "Light a Candle for Della" day on the Dellapalooza calendar
I gave a small donation in her name to a charity I think she would approve of, as I do the 18th of every month. This month was "Think Kindness"*
I wrote letters of thanks to the hospital staff that treated me after the crash, the state trooper who kept me in the loop about the investigation, and the American Legion volunteer who erected a roadside cross at the site of the crash
I submitted my Victim Impact Statement to the Park County Attorney's office who is handling the prosecution of the drunk driver that caused the crash. I'm willing to share that statement with anyone. Just message me
I sent out the video of Della's memorial to those that were unable to attend the event. If you would like the link, please message me. I would love for you to see it
I wrote to my state senator and representatives about an unfair Washington state law regarding insurance companies forcing you to give up your litigation rights to accept a settlement
I removed Della from my favorites on my phone :(
I reminded everyone I know that drinking and driving kills
I cried a lot
I felt so supported by the many messages of support I've received
I really missed Della
