Grieving

Today has been one of those days that really makes you think. It hit me today that everyone really does grieve differently.

After the devastating loss of my Mother I find myself bring stronger than I ever thought I could be. It's amazing how well I'm doing actually, given my depression and other death issues. It it still a struggle to get up every morning and convince myself to be a mother and a wife. It takes making a chore list like a kid has for me to get household stuff taken care of, but I am coping the only way I know how. Others who shall remain nameless are moving way too fast through the grieving process for my liking. My Mom was and is the most amazing woman I have ever known and I don't understand how people can just move on so fast.

It really hurts to know that people are already forgetting her. My goal for my children is that they never forget her.

Sorry for the rant, I just needed to vent.

FHE

Last Sunday we decided to head down to the Cemetary and have FHE with Grandma. It was great to be so close to her. Ths kids love to go visit Grandma and tell her what's going on in our lives.

Balloons

We decided to get balloons every year on Grandma's Birthday and write messages on them for her. It really helps the kids understand and remember.

It was an amazing experience to see even the little ones excited about sending balloons to Grandma for her Birthday. We love you Grandma!

Happy Birthday!
