Two I guess I should address this day. I have spent most of the day trying to figure out how it has only been two months and how you have already been gone for two FUCKING months. How? I literally feel like it has been years. So much has happened. My life is so so … Continue reading Day 62
“But I don’t smile like before” Life is getting the way I think. Our normal has begun. Things are slowing down. I can anticipate most of the next day. Life is getting good again. The only problem is the holidays. I could seriously skip over them and not feel even a tinge of sadness. The … Continue reading Day 56
Exploration I have been distant. Not in the way where you would see me and be like where has she been? More of a distant in myself feeling . I have been shoving the thoughts and feelings of Dave as far down as possible. I have been smiling through any emotion. I have been grabbing … Continue reading Day 46
Cameron I can't believe three years have passed without him. When I look back on my life there is no doubt that he helped me lose and find myself all at once. I don't say that negatively I would never change our time together. I have so many great great memories and of course the … Continue reading Day 39
Single Parent-ness The past 36 hours have been some of the hardest since Dave died. Being a single parent of one healthy child that has a permanent home, and preferably a girl, I am sure is stressful on it's own. I mean you do it all. LITERALLY! Between the normal wake up, get yourself ready, … Continue reading Day 36

Except it happens all the time. Whether it's grocery shopping where I still buy the things you ate and then weeks later I … Continue reading Day 33
Drowning Today has been hard. Though I spent most of the day doing "me time" I still found my self struggling. It seemed like after every minute or two I would think to myself I should text him. I should ask his opinion. I just send him a picture. It was a hard realization once … Continue reading Day 31
Growth If a year ago you would've told me that I would be in a buti class I would've laughed in your face. I never thought that I would even consider walking into a gym let alone a buti class. I like others I just assumed it was a bunch of conceded women in a … Continue reading Day 29
Spirituality Some are super against religion and you know what I get it and that's fine but I have learned in my life it is impossible for me to not believe in something larger than myself. I do not go to church but I'm not against it. I don't confess my sins but I do … Continue reading Day 27
Sobriety Let me be perfectly clear. I do NOT want to be sober. To my very core it is the very last thing my head wants. And believe me when I say "self" is having a heyday with all of this. As it sat and waited patiently, as always, somehow it was given the one … Continue reading Day 26
