A Strange, New World of Grief

The girls and I are navigating our way in new, uncharted waters.  I have never experienced this kind of grief before; up close and personal.  We are missing a vital member of our little family.  It's truly a day-to-day thing; the girls have lost a parent, and I have lost my partner, backbone, supporter, person always on my side who knew me better than anyone else.   With God's help, we will keep on going.  The garden will get planted, but won't be as lush, the family traditions will go on, but won't have the same feeling.  We will create new traditions as a new family unit. 
Things will never be quite the same, but we will still be okay.

Hello from Maggie


A Saturday at the Zoo!

While Sadie spent the weekend away, Maggie and I went to the zoo.   We did the pony ride, the train ride, and the zoo walk.   What a great day.
