This morning I left the house driving, what I believe, was the route that Trudi took two years ago. As I am not the runner she was I drove and parked along 8th West. All the stars were aligned and I jogged to city hall and arrived at 6:57am. I was listening to her ipod with I have been lead to believ was the song she was hearing that morning. I spent a few minutes in silent contemplation of this morning two years ago and said a silent plea that God would continue to watch over her. I know she jogged with me and that she is happy doing what she is doing. My love for her is stronger now if possible than when she was here.
Have learned so much over these past two years, some of it hard, but every struggle, every tear, every, you want me to do what Lord, every boulder I have climbed over, every step I have run has defined and refined me into the person I have become and I am grateful for that.

I needed to hear those exact words at this exact moment in time. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything that you are and represent and do. You amaze me. :) Love you tons :) Kim
You are such a wonderful person! I thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings.
sounds like a special morning. tough, but special.
It is so true. The heart is a muscle. When we exercise our muscles tear and grow and it hurts. When we grieve, really grieve our heart grows and it hurts. Though the byproduct is a better more complete love the process is uncomfortable. Grieving is a heart's way of celebrating what you had and will have again. It intensifies your love, cementing her to you in a most permanent way, deeper. I bet it was one of the best runs you've ever had.
