I have noticed that since the one-year anniversary of your accident that keeping track of the amount of time doesn't seem to matter any more. The other day was the one-year, four-month mark but I had to sit and figure that out. Why is that?
It's like each month before the year is meaningful because it's approaching the one-year, but then the next milestone I guess will be the two-year, although I don't know if the year and a half will matter. I mean it matters of course, but keeping track just changes.
It's similar I guess to when someone has a baby and it's really important how many months-old they are before their one year birthday, but then it doesn't matter as much if they are 1 year and 1 month or whatever. I guess because before the one-year, it's the only way to measure the time. Once the year realm is reached, it doesn't seem to matter until the next year passes.
So I guess it's not just a death thing. It's with everything. Like when someone is a baby and their weight is measured in pounds and ounces, but then it just reverts to pounds all the time.
I guess it has something to do with the smaller measurements of time. Like when it was a day since your accident, then it was a week, then it was a month, etc. The measurement stops at a year. Once that is reached, that is the maximum time measurement. There is no need to revert back to the smaller measurements. Hmmm...it's amazing how it helps to figure things out sometimes by writing it out. Sorry this might have been boring for you. Love you!
