I don't have all that much to report today, but I still want to post something. This morning was tough. For some reason, the tears just started flowing and didn't seem to want to stop. I was just sad - sad that Andrew wasn't here with me watching Kevin head off to work and sad that he wouldn't be here with me when Kevin got home from work. Crying is good for me though, so I actually embrace … [Read more...]

I'm still … [Read more...]

She suggested we take the flowers to the cemetary together since Andrew was buried at the same plot. I thought it was a great idea, but was anxious to make my first visit to Andrew's grave. Monday was the … [Read more...]
