We're ok

It's amazing how much one's body and mind can recover from such loss as we've experienced lately. That's not to say we're 100%, but we're ok.

Every once in a while, Maddy will look at me with such emotion and say how sad she is that the baby died. There's been a lot of hugging and a lot of downtime for the three of us as a family. Maddy's taken to sleeping on the floor and wanting us to sleep with her. We do what we can, but it's been a bit frustrating, especially if we have work to do. I've ordered some books to hopefully assist her (and us) in this phase.

We'll be honoring Steven's life this coming Saturday. It will be a small gathering in Oconto.

We're ok. Spring is here. The seeds have been started for the vegetable garden and have begun to sprout under the grow-lights in the basement. We're planning the patio. Joe's dug a trench between the house and garage.

It's all going to be ok. :)

Karen, Glad to hear y'all are on the healing path. I've been thinking about you. What a big girl Maddy is and what beautiful flowers! I have no talent as a gardener and wish someone would come transform my yard...

Karen - sorry to hear that you've been through hell lately! I'm sorry to hear about your 3 losses. But now you should be done...they always come in threes...and you're right, spring is here.
