Mother's D(read)AY

For Rosie, it has been a tumultuous day. Of course that would be expected considering the nature of the event. How do you act on a day like this after the death of your child. Even for me it's hard. Rosie and I tried to pick a safe place to spend the afternoon. We made the mistake of going to a restaurant that was one we took Paigee to, she loved the grilled cheese sandwiches. On the way in and out of the restaurant, we would swing her high off the ground as she squealed for more. I dread the times to come, hoping for safe plans. Still to be reminded of such happy times, bur for now, such sad memories. I had tears in my eyes in the restaurant as I listened to all the families with children. I felt no joy in the thought that at least these parents still had their children; healthy and close by.

Today is a sad day. My heart goes out to Lori and Christine.

Another friend from Standord passed recently, she was a lovely teenage girl, Christine helped keep Paigee busy at Camp Okizu last summer. Christine lost her fight to Bone Cancer.
