Anniversaries are weird. I remember each and every anniversary that was important to Don and I. However, what do I do with them now? Do I just acknowledge it in my head, smile and go about my day? Write out a sappy social media message with what would have been on said date? To just […]
Wow, 2017. Time is flying by too fast and I still feel like it was yesterday that Don died. When in reality it has been 2 years, 6 months and 2 days since my world changed. I am doing OK. I have tried dating and unfortunately I can’t stop comparing the guys to Don. I […]
This is has a hard post to write, I wanted to have some time to have been able to fully absorb the enormous amount of feelings that I went through in just planning this trip, seeing the trip through and then being able to digest the feelings that accompanied the trip. Our float plane waiting […]
Tongass Island early 1800’s Next week the girls and I will head to Alaska for a very important trip. This trip will be to spread some of Don’s ashes on Tongass Island. Don’s wishes were for me and girls to go there when we were ready and tomorrow marks 2 years since Don drifted off […]

Do I dive in again? Test the waters, see what the life of dating is like again? I’m scared. I’m nervous. Actually, I am terrified. How do I do this? How do you figure out how to meet people and actually date when you haven’t dated since you were 22. I haven’t dated anyone since […]
It’s been 387 days, and I think of Don daily.
I haven’t been great about keeping this blog updated. I have thought about it, but it seems to take so much energy to update everyone on just me. Writing and updating everyone on Don was so easy and enjoyable, but writing about myself … not so much. Blue waters of Bimini, Bahamas. I have been […]
Reentry Definition The act or action of reentering. The return of a missile or spacecraft into the atmosphere. The act of rejoining as a participant or member.
