Lack of posts
Sorry for the lack of posts over the last six weeks. It’s hard getting motivated to post about how I’m feeling and what’s going on here in the Steadman household. One one hand we’re excited about the upcoming arrival of little Pineapple (no, we don’t have an official name still), Madie’s having a great summer and getting ready for school and I’m searching for a new job. One the other hand I miss Ben terribly and am really in a funk. I’m not sure that anyone wants to read about the daily battle with depression and writing about the rainbows and butterflies of life feels pretty phony to me right now.
So I have to find a balance. Not just in my posts, but also in my life. I have to find a way to grieve without missing the wonders going on around me. I’m not sure exactly what that means or how to do it, but it’s my first post in six weeks so stop complaining.

Dean, Melinda, and Madie,
Keep being the strong people you are! I know it’s very little solace, but we constantly talk about your family as being one of the strongest we’ve ever been around. Keep the ice cream handy, as well as the humor!
With Lots of Love,
Colin & Roby
I love you…dear Steadmans. I am here to listen about the excitement of the up coming addition to the family, and also here to listen to the depths of your saddness over the loss of Ben. I can offer a shoulder to cry on, and I will cry with you. I can do nothing to relieve your pain, but I am willing to share it with you and lend you my strength when needed. Please know you are not alone, my entire family is here for you. We love you oddles and bunches!!!
Shan, Abe and Quinn
