Dear April,
You came in with such promise. I looked forward to enjoying every day you wanted to share with me. But something happened in the first week that changed how I felt about you. I wanted to crawl into bed and wait for May to show up because then maybe things would be better. Instead I faced you head on although it wasn't easy. I shed more tears than I have in years. I looked at my life and realized that what happened that first week needed to happen. Once I realized that, I was then able to enjoy most of your days (although not all). It was such a roller coaster ride that as your days dwindled, I was ready to get off the ride.
May has arrived and I am looking forward to several trips this month and a birthday. May is a clean slate with lots of possibilities.
I can't say that I'll miss you April but I have learned a lot from you that I will take into May. I just hope that I can avoid the roller coaster this time around.
Love,
M
