This is Jim on the school board (middle back). This is the place I stepped into tonight. It should've been him. No one can really step into his place.
Well, May is over. I wish I could say that I feel better now, but I don't. I guess maybe just a tiny sense of relief that we've made it this far.
Everyone was wonderful to me tonight. The school board members, the administration .... everyone. I did not cry. Not there anyway. A bit on the way.
I was sad today, but it was nice to have so much family around me. I didn't think I'd hold it together when they introduced me (I had no idea they were going to do that), but I did. And I did when I handed Son #1 his diploma (and all of the other kids I knew).
So I guess that's a good thing.
Oh, and for those of you who are keeping track, or placing bets, it only took one Xanax.
And I was told (by my mother, so that does NOT count) that I did not look like a pregnant penguin. Whatever. Squawk!!
Here are the pictures from earlier tonight:
Here he is with Daughter #2:
And this is from his birthday the other night:
Tomorrow we're going to the lake to finish spreading Jim's ashes.
Another event.
So, May down ...... I wonder how many months to go?
I think I need a nap. A very long, very quiet nap.
I think I'll go to Cabo next week ...... and take a nap.

He looks much older in his cap and gown than he does in his birthday picture. You and Jim did a good job.
