This Has Been Our Road . . .

Missing Joey a lot the past couple of days. Funny how I will be just fine and then an intense wave of pain will wash over me, and I just feel devastated all over again. Working through it. Possibly going to take the kids to the cemetary this weekend. The "Moving Wall" has come to Utah for the first time and I thought it would be good to visit.

I wanted to use the Little Yellow Bicycle's "Pack Your Bags" line to write about some of my feelings. We have been on a special kind of journey with losing our son. And even though these are travel-related products, they fit my mood perfectly. I find it cathartic to write about my feelings when I feel like this (I also give myself permission not to when I don't feel like talking about it).

Thank you for letting me share my thoughts today. I'm sure I will be fine. I just have good days and bad days. Thankfully I think we all have more good days than bad days, which is a very good thing!
