Bittersweet
August 8, 2015 at 10:44 pm | Posted in Grief | 4 CommentsIt is hard for me to believe but these 2 celebrated their 8th birthday! I am so thankful and lucky to be their mama.
And, the twins started 3rd grade last week. Here is a picture from the big 1st day.
I did my best to focus on the positive. The first few days of August were so busy with birthday fun and getting ready to go back to school that I almost forgot to brace myself for the bittersweet days.
I did not let myself think about Sawyer who would have started kindergarten. I tried to ignore the dates on the calendar. I know it is not possible but I really want to find a way to skip this month. I am not ready. I do not know how to live through the 10th anniversary of Jake’s death. I will get through this August just like the other 9 Augusts without Jake – I just do not know how.
According to the Jewish calendar the 10th anniversary/yahrzeit of Jake’s death was actually on Thursday. So maybe I lived through it already.

Third grade! Wow. May they have a great year in school – and out. They look so happy. That must make you happy and shows that you’ve done a good job. Give yourselves kudos for that. My best to all of you. Cornelia
