Sorry I've been absent. This week is always a bit difficult leading to a worse one later this month. Today was my wedding anniversary then in 3 weeks is the anniversary of losing Mac. Yah, I know I should be "over it" but while it's not nearly as hard as years past, it still gives me pause. I'm fine, just dealing in my own way. Love you guys.

NOBODY (that's not an asshole) expects you to be "over it". You and only you decide what you do about painful memories. Nothing wrong with taking care of you! We'll be here before, during, and after as needed.

We are there if you want to talk or want distraction, but if you feel the

: thanks all. I truly appreciate every word.

Has anyone actually said you should be over it? If so, they suck. Do what you have to do to take of yourself physically and emotionally. We’ll be here. You’re stuck with us.

Hilda
: this makes me happy.


Dede
and yes, I have heard that perhaps I should be less "emotional" but I consider the source and move along.

Hilda
: and that recipe looked delicious even with the cheese

I have a theory that "getting over" something is both impossible and unhelpful.

Dede
Lou
: pretty much.
