I'm am glad August is OVER! Actually, I am kind of melancholy about it. It went as fast as I had hoped, but now I think I should have savored every last drop of summer we had! The anticipation of the anniversaries was much harder than the days themselves, at least for me. We, once again, had lots of support and Birthday wishes that the boys so deserve. Baby Kyler (the boys' cousin) left an adorable letter and teddy bear on their headstone, it really said a lot, and meant a lot too! Thanks everyone!!
Speaking for only myself, but I feel almost whole again. Well, as whole as I can be. I will always have a break in my heart, but it has learned how to function with it there. Occasionally, pain passes through but all in all, I am starting to venture onward and upward, in remembrance not in grief.
My first M.I.S.S. Group was last week- the first one I facilitated on my own. Only one person showed up, but it was a very constructive meeting. My info hasn't been passed out to many familes yet, so I am hoping with any luck and some elbow grease, I can work upto the Spokane's level of interaction and following. I've also been informally introduced at the hospital to take over the support and memory making aspect of the patients, so I am just waiting for that first call. It will be devestating and exciting all at the same time.
Also, a new love in my life, is my new zipply little orange scooter! Yep, if you haven't heard me talking about it non-stop already, it is a little italian syle 150cc scooter with a cute beep beep horn! I absolutely LOVE it! I saw it at the fair and had to have it. We had talked a lot about getting me one last year, and all this summer, so we finally just said, what the hell! The price was right and it definately gave me a boost. I get such a kick out of riding it to and fro... buzzing around time... getting the BEST parking spots!! Its fabulous!!
In addition to my new a love, a new season. Fall is my favorite time of year. Cold mornings with coffee, hot days to enjoy the sun and a crisp smell of change.
I feel a change coming on... more to be posted later!
