My kids were up all night.

They woke up crying this morning.

Reese's eyes hurt.

Gavin is exhausted
(at school, no less).

And as I laid in bed, not really wanting to face the day,

I remembered.

It's May 17th.

One year has gone by.

So you know what I did?

Photobucket

I got up.

Got my kids ready.

Walked.
And walked.
And walked.

And now.

Laundry.
Cleaning.
Nuzzling with Reese.

Yes.
I miss him.

But I'm done being sad/angry/upset.

My brother has decided to plant a tree every year on the anniversary.

That is awesome on so many levels.

Did you know Matt was an
arborist?

Like I said.
A.W.E.S.O.M.E.


So.
Let the day begin.
Bring it on.

Matt has been on my mind lately. What a great family he has. I hope they are doing well. Sis. Graves was such a great seminary teacher. I miss her.

Hope you are well.

Love ya.
