morning walk.

before daycare/work.

wednesday – sept. 30, 2009.

tomorrow…

tomorrow is the

final day

of this ritual.

the one who got

us here,

to this point,

is not here,

and will not be

taking the journey

with us,

but…

we’ll be taking it

for her.

and though she

wouldn’t believe

where we’ve been

or where we’re

headed, she’d

be way fucking

thrilled that

we are where we are.

    You are so right! She would be thrilled. Please know, that I am, too. The reality you are taking to India makes me so proud of you and happy for you. I feel certain that writing your book will reveal a depth and growth that will amaze you – and us. We have been on the journey alongside you but will get to know you on a whole different level. Safe travel, you three, and have a wonderful time.

    Liz would be thrilled, and when Maddy gets older she’s going to be thrilled with the journeys the two of you will have taken together.
    And everyone here is so thrilled for you too!

    Just so amazing. :) If it weren’t for your incredible loss I would say you are leading a very charmed life, but it’s a close to charmed as you can get and it’s because of your incredible love for Liz and Maddy and how you have embraced this life amidst unimaginable grief.
