The Inevitable March
It’s 8:47pm, and it’s today, and it’s March 11th.
It’s 9:00pm, March 11th, 1994, and my sister goes into labor with her son Parker, who will be born the following day.
It’s the afternoon of March 11th, 2006, and my father gets married in his backyard.
It’s 9:00pm, March 11th, 2006, and Jill goes into labor with Nate, who will be born the following day.
It’s 10:00pm, March 11th, 2006, and Jill’s Gram Summerville passes away quietly in her bed, and she is 97 years old.
It’s 9:00pm, March 11th, 2008, and my father passes away quietly in his Hospice bed, and my sister and I are kneeling beside him.
Sometimes the string of time is tightly drawn, with one point lining up obediently behind the other, and sometimes it’s balled deeply between the twin fists of context and perspective, with both ends touching the middle.
And we cry, and we whisper into new ears or pressed against smooth pine, and we promise to love, and to know, and to never forget.
And it’s 9:04pm, and it’s today, and it’s March 11th.
Happy Birthday Nate!
I hope yesterday was less intense than some of the last March 11ths that you have had.

Bittersweet and beautiful. I hope you had a mostly pleasant, thoughtful anniversary of such a surreal day.

That was an amazing post Bill. It is simply amazing how one day can have several differnt associations.
What a powerful picture of life. Thanks for sharing it Bill.

Wow! Bill, you certainly have a way with words…
I knew that there was significance to the date of Nate’s birthday, but those connections are quite incredible. Your post reminds us all of the intricate web that weaves our lives.
OK guys!! It’s time! It’s MAY! Are you trying to tell me that nothing of significance has happened since March 11????? Give us something happy because quite frankly, March 11th is a bit of a downer.
Annes last blog post..SUMMER IS HERE! Well, almost.
Anne, bringing a smile to my face… Oh a lot has happened, you’re right about that. I’ll be filling you in with some retro posts about the current and recent goings-on. Thanks for hanging in there!
P.s. If you ever got that bounce-flash we talked about, then here are a few diffusers I now can’t live without: You might find them useful for that indoor wedding you mentioned:

Very eloquently and succinctly put, my friend. You got me a little teary-eyed with 2008. How lucky we all were to have him while we did. I’ll always remember our dad’s laughing at a freshly told joke in your living room at Ellsworth.
Some of your posts helpful for me, I am happy to visit your blog . I’ll come back another time
