Countdown

 Six years ago

 but it still

 feels like yesterday.

I remember the confusion, the blinding terror, the shock.  

This is one of those moments that is seared in my brain with perfect clarity.  The day our lives changed forever.  We didn't know it then, but the day our countdown started.  A countdown to an end we never could have comprehended, never could have prepared for, and will never be the same because of.  It still hurts remembering, made even more poignant because he's gone.
