15 years
15 years ago we pulled in to California, pulling a small trailer behind our previous car.
16 years ago I had no idea that we would be moving to California a year later, only that we were clearing out Garry's desk, then eating out.
16 years ago both of our Dads were still alive, still available to advise us. In September, it will be 16 years since my Dad died and two since Garry's Dad died. "Died" is such a harsh word, as is "widow" but those words pertain to our parents.
Years are made up of months, months of weeks, weeks of days, days of hours, hours of minutes, minutes of breaths.
God alone knows how many of each which each of us is allotted.
"So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom." (Psalm 90:12; ESV)
