Spring is here! We actually had a mild winter compared to the last two. There's no snow outside at all. Last week it was 60 degrees out and Drew and I took Harley for a nice long walk. The temperature was perfect. Then we grilled outside. This is about our fourth time grilling in the last month. Today, Easter Sunday, it has gone up to 71 degrees!
My blog was started with the intention of last only a day or two. I originally was just going to post that Ray was out of surgery and doing fine. That way I wasn't plastering all our personal information over Facebook and I didn't have to call all our family and friends. They could just check the blog on their own to see the update. Well, here it is six plus years later and my blog continues. Not as much about my grief, as I have grown from it. It's still there and always will be - just in a different way than it was six years ago.
The winter is hard on me because it brings back too many memories of Ray's death. Now that the warmer temps are here and the sun is out longer and spring is upon us I start to feel better. Spring has always made me think of new life - which it is.
I'm looking forward to making some positive changes in my life soon. I think it will be good for me and Drew. More on that later.
We spent Easter with friends Dan & Tao (and others). This was our fifth year sharing it with them. We colored eggs on Friday night and then did an egg hunt on Saturday. (We celebrated on Saturday as they go back home on Sunday). It was really a fun time.
Tonight we are having another Easter dinner with Tom and Mary. There were at Dan and Tao's also, but we're sharing another Easter celebration.
