Grief Game

It is interesting to me to find myself being bombarded with the grief feelings again as we get further into the summer. The grief finds itself at center stage in my life where for the past few months it definitely has been in the corner playing just a small simple background melody. As the anniversary of Joshua' s death approaches the loudness of the sadness comes forward in my brain. It is not as painful this time around but it brings a shadow to some of my days.

Love this article: Explains the grief game so well. It speaks volumes to my soul.

Two months

Jarom Don is 2 months old

I cannot believe our baby is two months old. He is so much fun to have in our house. I was able to take him to work with me the last 6 days of school. All the Kindergarteners were being tested and we had extra hands helping us. He was passed around the adults while I one on one tested all 42 of my students. He would be calm and have fun with everyone as long as I did not talk. I would walk in to check on him and talk and he would immediately grunt and squirm to try to get my attention. Silly Boy! (but it makes me feel good) My principal even enjoyed him as she was retiring and finishing her time in education. Every person who held him got to feel his incredible spirit and joy. They would melt and smile as he would every time he was passed.
