some thoughts I have had lately

On Nov 16, our church celebrated kid's day with small kids up front and videos of the 3 new babies in the church and their families. All 3 of the families with new babies had an older sibling in the pictures and I thought of Drew and Peyton and ended up crying with pain for Kari and Jordan and us knowing that we would be missing that. I consciously decided to be happy for those families and not blame anyone. It took work to replace my sadness with joy for others.

Nov 17, I recorded this thought. I think of Drew every day many times a day and find myself even dreaming about him. My pain is still present and includes pain for Kari and Jordan and the loss of dreams for their family. I continue to wear Drew's picture pin and am not sure if or when I will stop. I want to remember him often. Guess I don't want the grief process to end yet.
