27 months post loss and it is still a part of my soul. An outsider might think I am stuck in the past when I am very much in the present. I had many words to post today but I think I can simplify by describing the day.
- His youngest daughter took her driving test today. She is driving his truck as she learns and will be driving it when she turns 16. She has kept a few things in the car that were his and I love that. She drives a car that says "EWU Dad" on the back window. She has never asked for that to be removed and I love that. She passed with a 96% and we all love that.
- His oldest daughter went to a Blazer game with Josh. Reid would love Josh as much as I do. Blazers were playing the Jazz- the source of my Jeff Hornacek 'pumpkin' story. While they were there, Syd thought she saw Sam so asked that I connect them. They are connected- his oldest daughter and one of our our flower girls.
- His wife, got the boat out of the water and went to West Marine to find stuff to clean the hull and bottom of Columbia River leftovers. Ryan tucked it into the garage. That boat gave me a place to write, to reflect, to happy hour and most of all......to connect. I love that I put it in the water. Now I feel like it is in the garage because it is so loved, rather than because it is so neglected.
- Him. This entire day was "coincidentally' shaped by him.
Today was a good day.
