November tenth is a day that creeps up on me now.
It wasn’t always this way.
In past years it was a day heavy with memories, emotions, and unanswered questions.
Now it’s a day just like any other.

I pushed my laptop to the side and looked out the window at the green grass and sunshine. In seconds the memory of hearing a gunshot from our bedroom and finding my late wife’s lifeless body flashed through my mind followed by a tinge of the raw terror that flowed through my body that afternoon.
