It's been one year since Monkey died. August 26, 2016. On this one year anniversary, we all met at the beach near my XH's house, where my son and his ex-wife were married. Monkey had only been there once in his short life, but it was home for my son and our family and so it was home for him. We laid his ashes to rest in a small ceremony at the beach: his father (my son), his mother, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. My son, who does not cry, broke down.
It took me over three hours to drive there. It's usually no more than a 90 minute drive. The whole day was basically a train wreck.

WOT?*, I was remembering your grandson just the other day. I am so very sorry for your loss. I know it doesn't truly get easier, but I hope that the acute pain lessens with time, particularly for your son and Monkey's mom.
