Life is going on....
Although most of it is passing us. We'e been back to work and school. We have all been to a grief counselor. She has given us some tools to use to help work through this.
I did have an especially bad day yesterday. I was organizing some of AJ's boyhood treasures; putting them in plastic crates to keep them safe, so his daughter has tangible things from her dad. I just started bawling when I got to his Disney stuff. He had won 2 Dreams: his special pins and his fastpass. along with the room cards from a number of trips. He was so much of a little bragger about his dreams!! (I so wanted to get something, and see them given out, but he got them when he went off to ride in single rider lines....on everest, and one for the crushngusher? at Typhoon)
All his drawing books, and the rocks he was so fascinated with that he would beg us to BUY at stores. His swim ribbons and trophy. And his hats, he had so many hats, all kinds: ballcaps, dreadlocks, chinaman hat, fedora, etc. He loved wearing his hats and being goofy in them.
I am dreading this week. All of his belongings in his car have to be picked up by me and dh. So we have to go up to Anchorage, see his car, and see his stuff. (we will fly, as I don't think I will ever be able to do the drive again, see the spot where it happened)
Will they have cleaned up all the blood? Maybe they will have taken out the stuff from the car, and then we can claim it? (I don't think so, but really hope) I don't want to see it, the place where the truck ripped off the roof of his car.... The car he was so happy to have, a new car for him in June.
I am still soo sad. DD had her baby friday 8-21 and I am so sad that I can't be more happy for her.
Life is still going on........
Is this your DS's baby, or your DD's baby?
Just know you are in our thoughts and prayers......One day at a time
I think of you every single day. every day, wondering as you go down this journey.
Can someone make calls about the car and find out if someone can remove the belongings? Really better to not see the car at all and not need to have that vision. There are enough things to deal with, that is one that could be avoided. I would let the car go to salvage without looking at it.
I know it seems so hard, and it is to go through the belongings, the memories. I still have my dd home she rented from me. A lot of things are gone, furniture wise, TV and doll collections. But the clothes are still all there. I do not have the physical or emotional strength to go through them.
The depositions start soon in my dd legal case and I pretty much have recent rough days. I did start a new program for at risk youth, volunteer run as no cash right now, but the space is donated and I WILL get this program going. In her memory, I know how proud she would be.
No matter what we do, we honor our children.
Honor their children too, or the ones in "the village."
Love those grand babies up.
My hugs, and prayers

Aj's baby is due in Oct. Tho his GF is now on bed rest because of early contractions, hopefully she can stay well rested and try to keep the stress down. Tho that is very hard with the memories she has to deal with.
DD who lives in another state had her baby boy aug 21.
