Belated birthday blessings to Lynn & Judy. Sorry these days are so hard.
Now the holidays come and I wish I could just sleep right through them.
Dolly, the pictures of Brandon you were talking about made me realize that I will hardly glance at my son's pictures anymore. I probably walk past them at least a dozen times a day. It's harder now than it was before to look at him and wonder what he'd be looking like today. I guess I intentionally avoid them. At least for now.
Jane, I'm tired too. We need to keep that vision of better days inside us, especially when we're down in the valley. Are you still seeing the therapist?
Praying we all experience some calmness and peace.
The first couple of years I use to read this graphic a lot and now I'm back to feeling this way again. I can only hope that it is just this time of year.
I am so sorry Jane I live in Vermont and the cold gray days do not help going through grief.
This is just so hard.
So hard to think about getting through the next day but knowing I have to do this every day for the rest of my life.
My strength is weakening.
I am tired.
You're such a sweet person Dolly.
I love what you say below Dolly. I try to be thankful too and then I look at Kyra's picture and the tears come so hard again. It is so comforting to have you all.
Today I'm going to meet with Michael's old hockey coach. The idea is to figure out how to help a kid or kids who can't afford to play. Not sure what the outcome will be, I just know it has to be positive. I know my Michael is smiling down. He would be pleased with this.
Michael was born bouncing off the walls. Back in 1983 the doctor said to me, "this is one strong active baby, so get ready." Never did they ever say the letters ADHD. By the time Michael was 10 months old he could run down the street. I found him on a second floor roof before he was 2. You couldn't turn your back for 2 seconds when he was little or he'd either go on a venture or purposely crash himself into something and think it was funny.
Him playing hockey was my savior. It burned his energy, taught him how to be a part of a team and it kept him out of trouble. He loved hockey. Now I want to find that other Michael and help him play.
Today is for you, Mike.
Happy Birthday Lynn! Without the day of your birth, there wouldn't have been all the love you have shared. Peace, and Love to you especially today!
