I'd like to add something...I know what but I know I can't. It's too quiet in my house now. Bri has her own life as a high schooler and either is never home or has friends over all the time.
Mike's ashes came today. Bri was all excited to get a "package" until she realized what was in it. Wow, to be reducted to a bag of dirt...to realize that your life has meaning other than a physical one...to live out loud and be present in the moment - good, bad, pretty, ugly - just be here. We will be scattering the ashes on Pikes Peak on October 3. We will take some with us to Japan so Mike can return to the country he loved so much and so he can make the journey with us.
Bri turns 14 next week and it breaks my heart that her dad isn't standing next to me to celebrate these milestones with her. I know he's watching from heaven which is a way more awesome experience than what she is going through but these are the milestones she gets to live right now. The homecoming dance is on her birthday and Mike never met Jayden, her boyfriend. I'll post photos so everyone can celebrate with us.
Just me ranting...I'm ok right this minute (as long as I don't listen to the radio.)
