Five Months

It has been 5 months today since Steve passed away. I keep thinking that I should be further along in the grieving process. There hasn't been a day that has gone by without shedding tears for my great loss, and the loss of my children. I guess the fact that some days I don't cry as much as others should be a good sign.

There is a Chinese proverb that states, "The man who moved mountains began by carrying away small stones." It is hard to pick up the pieces and try to begin to heal and rebuild your life. I suppose we have to work on it one day, one hour, or one moment at a time.

"I think these difficult times have helped me to understand better than before how infinitely rich and beautiful life is in every way and that so many things that one goes around worrying about are of no importance whatsoever.".... Isak Dinesen

It is in true sorrow that we begin to learn to cherish the little things in life. I cherish the great memories we have, my children's laughter, and the great times that we have had together. I cherish strengthened friendships, and family relations. I am truly blessed.
