Happy Easter My Love!
Happy Easter to my sweet sweet boy, how I miss you so. I keep waiting for time to pass so the pain of your loss will be dimmed, and yet I miss you more than ever. I’m getting better at hiding it, denying the pain. This isn’t a good thing I know, but I feel like I owe it to the girls to be a happy and loving mother. I’m sure I’m over compensating, but oh well, one day at a time I guess.
The one-year celebration went better than I had hoped for. It was so nice to have everyone there showing their support of us and their love for Ben. It was a very healing day for me. I don’t know if we’ll plan on doing something every year to mark the day of his passing. Simply celebrating his birthday may be enough. As Dean said in the earlier post, we have an amazing amount of animals, and more keep finding their way to us. I may ask for further help from some of you to get the yellow ribbon and tags put on all of the animals. It’s a much bigger undertaking than I had originally planned!
The girls are doing so beautifully, they are the loves of my life. Madie absolutely loves Kindergarten and is also looking forward to summer break. She is very proud of the fact that she can read now, and practices constantly. Lily is my ever-smiling bundle of pure joy. I believe that she has come to us to help us all heal.
Well, that’s all for today. We’ll be starting up the garden project again and have lots of great ideas, so keep checking back.
Thank you all for your support and prayers. We really do feel blessed by them.
Melinda
