I'm not one for 'fruity' or 'sugary' beers.. but they had a brew that was dark & had the rim coated w/cinnamon sugar. I know you're a dark brew - Guinness type of guy & it seems almost sacrilegious to put cinnamon sugar on the rim... but it was amazing. ...<br /><br />I think connecting with other parents who lost a child recently would be good for you both. You're not alone & there are millions of others who are also having similar grief @ this time. It's not exactly like yours, but it is probably on a scale where you can support & relate to each other. <br /><br />I'm glad you're writing.

In fact, I signed up to be on the bone marrow donor list much inspired by your story. I really hope you do find someone to talk to that understands your situation. You and Kezia really deserve that. In the mean time, I'll continue to pray for you and yours. I hope you find your getaway to be exactly what you both need during these difficult times. And thank you for donating those toys, I know you know, but you're making other little kids very happy in doing so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1877391641371625441.post-69176034988325904042011-12-22T13:58:33.215-08:002011-12-22T13:58:33.215-08:00You have lived your lives around your child for a ...You have lived your lives around your child for a year and a half, you are going to feel 'weird'. But it's not. It's a process, it's good for you and your wife to get away, relax away from it all for a day or two. But when you come back be prepared for it to hit you again. It will always be there, it dulls in time, but it will hit you with a vengence time and time again. It feels like a dream, you wake up thinking you heard something. You smell her smell. You automatically walk in her room, a million little ways, it's there to remind you. But you need to put one foot in front of the other and one day you won't need to remind yourself to breathe. You won't need to tell yourself this is not happening. Mike, hindsight is always best. Think about it differently, yes maybe you could have stayed there more, but beating yourself up about it now isn't helping. You were there for her, she knew it, she knew you loved her without a doubt. Don't mess up your mind second guessing. One day at a time, one footstep at a time, and one breath at a time.AnitaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03876570725603017805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1877391641371625441.post-3028151396325756282011-12-22T13:56:42.167-08:002011-12-22T13:56:42.167-08:00Don't ever feel guilty for going out and doing...Don't ever feel guilty for going out and doing things.
