A blog that started out as a humorous tale of raising 6 children, then quickly became a chronicle of my grief at being suddenly widowed. Now it's the rest of my journey ... of living, laughing, crying, praying, rejoicing. Of being happy, sad, angry, content, sorrowful, alone, amazed and very, very blessed. And still taking life, one breath at a time ........

Some Things Still Have The Power ....
.... to make me cry.
Son #3, looking stunningly like Jim.
On his way to Prom tonight.
T.A.N.W.
What a handsome son! And a beautiful prom date! I've come to see my sons' similarities to their Dad as both blessings and grief inducers. But in the end, it is good that he lives on in them. If only he was here to see it. That's the grief inducing part.... And most of the time, people's off the cuff comments like "he's with them" and "he sees them" just don't cut it, 'cause that just isn't good enough to soothe the grief. Ok, now I'm rambling. Thanks for sharing the picture. Knowing that we're all out here surviving the unimaginable sends strength out into the widow world!
