Time... It does go by...


Hmm… what a difference three months can make…

It seems like only yesterday, we bid our sister adieu’ at seven in the morning. At the time it seemed like an eternity from the time she went to Heaven, to the time services were held. And that was only a week. It’s been three months today and so much has happened to the family. Obviously the biggest changes have been with Terri. She sent me a text today that simply said “Three months today, and I still miss her”. The difference though with Terri now versus 3 months ago, is that she would mope and grieve three months ago. Now, she’ll miss Lou, feel sad, but she is moving on with life because she asked me how to fix her computer…lol… And she was teasing me about a variety of things so her sense of humor is back and was sorely missed by the rest of us. I think about Lou everyday. I think about her when I see magazines in the gift shop at work… When I’m at the grocery store and I see the grape flavored Propel water. Little things like that. But I remember how full of life Lou was… I don’t wish her back here. She’s in paradise. Why would I take that from her? Three months ago today… seems longer than that but I know Lou would want us to keep going and stop moping. So we’re not moping… just taking time to remember… our precious bull in a china shop… our Lou…
