Capturing grief - sunrise

This is new to me, but I'd like to participate with this challenge this year. Every day I will post, or try to post a new topic everyday that relates to grief that's been preselected. Today's is Sunrise.

Unfortunately I do not usually see the sunrise but I do love it. It's a simple thing that can be so beautiful in so many ways.

A week after Adrian died, I walked to the cemetery. It wasn't a quick walk either. I did it though despite just having a baby. I made it there to sit at the bench and watch the sunrise and all I could think about was how it was meant to be this way. That even though Adrian died, this was a new experience and something good would come from it even though I have no idea what that would be. I had to have hope that there was something... Watching the sunrise in the quiet peaceful cemetery was life changing and now I understand why people walk in it.

So while I do not see the sun just fill the sky often these days, the days I do I remember that day.
