During the Five Days - 1

 This article was originally posted on September 1, 2011🍀

 

On that weekend which was three days before K died, he went snowboarding with my current husband and his friend. (I told them I would rather stay home. My daughter was supposed to join them but also stayed home because she came down with a cold).

 

When they got back from the trip, K seemed happy and was excited to tell us all about the great time he had in the mountain. During dinner time that night, he was laughing hard at the jokes my husband's friend made.

 

I just cannot remember anything but K's smiles......

 

Later, my ex-husband confessed to me that K had been skipping many school days for quite some time. The day he ended his life, his dad scolded him severely on the phone, for not attending school again. Guessing from the time of his death, K took his life right after that phone call.

 

"It's all my fault... Please, please forgive me...",

My ex kept on apologizing to me.

 

Even after talking with my ex-husband, I still did not understand why K did it.

Nothing made sense to me.

 

During the five days before the funeral, I met with someone very important to K,

his best friend.

 

K's best friend, A, poured his heart out to me.

Finding Solace with K

  This article was originally posted on September 26, 2011🍀 Ever since I was convinced Clover was the sign from K, I started to look for them everywhere. Family and close friends called me  "Clover Hunter."  I would buy anything with a clover motif on it and I still do. On May 26, 2011 , It was the day of my little girl's lesson. I recall it was still very hard for me to take her to places such as school and lessons. I just wanted to stay home and avoid meeting people as much as possible.  On that day, I was feeling very sad missing K..... When my girl's lesson was done, we decided to go shopping for some Clover item. Since the lesson was held in a department store, we went straight to the stationary section and browsed around looking at post cards and envelops with Clover Motif.  Unfortunately, nothing clicked with me. I started feeling miserable for desperately looking for K's signs. We went home without buying anything. Getting back to the house wi...

Birthday Present from K

Image
This article was originally posted on September 26, 2011🍀 My birthday is July 2. Without any apparent reason, my back started to hurt badly a few days prior to my birthday. Yes, I have had back pain before, but it had never been this severe. I decided to go see an orthopedic doctor/chiropractor to feel better so that I could keep taking care of my little girl and working as a PTO board member at her school. I was very busy at that time. On July 1st, I saw an orthopedic technician whom one of my best friends, A, recommended to me. I was given an acupuncture treatment as well as physical massage. On my way home, I was thinking to myself, "How unlucky I am!  Tomorrow is my birthday and I had to go visit a clinic for my back pain. K, let me know if this does have any meaning." Then, I realized I was walking on the street I usually would not be. There were many small shops on both sides of the street. An old looking stationary shop, on the other side, caught my eye. Wal...

Is this how you see us here?

This article was written on October 25, 2011 🍀 Currently, I am a homeroom mother for my daughter's kindergarten. I usually do my work in the parents' room on the second floor. The parents' room has a big window with curtains. When you open the curtains, you can see the play ground right below. The other day, looking out the window alone, I saw my daughter running outside to play. I peered through a crack in the curtain and watched her play for a while. She was chatting with friends, dancing excitedly, and smiling happily. I found myself smiling also while watching my daughter play. And, that was when I realized. Perhaps, K watches us just like this from high up in the sky. He can see us clearly, however, we do not notice that. A person who is ahead of me in the grief journey once told me, "What I can tell you now is something anyone can understand. Our children's spirits exist somewhere like on the other side of a curtain which is crack opened. That place is in an...
