Grief Hurts

Dear Brian,
Here we are, nearing the end of February already! Where does time go?
And yet --- there are days that seem like they'll never end ....
but that's probably job related in my case!

I was scrolling through my phone on break, and started perusing the photos I've posted on the ForeverMissed  page I set up.  I got through about a dozen photos and tears started streaming.  I was remembering all the things we've done together.  After high school, you and I were pals, a team.  We did so many things together, some of them just ordinary chores.  Like our weekly trip to the library, a stroll around the pond then Taco Bell for dinner (his second favorite meal!)  We started that in Trotwood, and continued it when we moved to Arizona.  Or the weekly grocery trip.  You always came along so that you would have his favorite treats - or cravings - for the week.  Of course, it was good to have you along in order to do the heavy lifting!  hahaha

It's been nearly 8 months and I miss you every day.  Every. Single. Day.

But life goes on.  I'm painting the garage, it's been 10 years since we painted it, and it needs it.  Then there's having a roof put on this week.  When I got home from work, there were shingles up on the roof!!  And needing a new AC/heat unit later in April.  Gotta get it done before triple digits sets in -- usually around May 15th. 

Brian, Brian, Brian.

But I am doing that.

I miss your silly jokes and your laughter.
Love you,
Mom
