October 31st

I can't believe that today is the last day of October.  Today marks the beginning of the worst time of my life.  2 years ago today we visited Kyle's grandpa for the last time.  3 days later, he was gone.  I am so thankful that I made the decision to keep the kids out a little later on a school night so they could see "Papa".

16 days from today, I said goodbye to my sweet Erik as I walked away from him in the ER.  Needless to say, the next couple of weeks are going to be VERY hard for me.  I felt like this year would be just a little bit easier since it's the second year, but just the opposite is true.  Everything about this year has been harder.  A LOT harder.

Anyway - last year in November, I posted each day about something I was thankful for.  I plan to do the same thing this year.  It really did help me concentrate on what I still have instead of finding a hole to crawl in and mourn what I have lost - although I could probably still do that too.

I hope you'll come back each day and see what I have to be thankful for....
