I have probably started 15 blog drafts in the last 2 months. As I’m sure you have noticed, none of them have made it to publishing. I’m going to stop doing that. I’m going to stop trying to come up with something specific to write about and I’m just going to write. Before I explode.
On October 27th we “celebrated” Paige’s due date, if you can call it celebrating. We each wrote a letter and tied it to a balloon and let it go. I finally feel like I’m a step closer to “letting go”. Even though it’s only been 5 months since our loss, I’m convinced this is something that we will never truly get over. Grief is cyclical, a constant circle of highs and lows…
We also purchased a Japanese Maple Tree in her memory. It is absolutely gorgeous.
We will be planting it next fall if we are settled into a new home. It’s a very nice reminder and a place for me to talk to her. I know that she’s in Heaven but having something here has been extremely helpful.
What else? We are preparing to plan a 5k for June 13th (the day she was born sleeping) in her memory and to benefit families currently dealing with a loss. Whether it’s helping them with medical expenses, therapy treatments, etc. So if you’ve ever planned a 5k or are willing to learn and help, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
That’s all I’ve got for now.
