We both made it through another day at work.  Today was easier for me - I felt more "normal" than I have in awhile.  I know that doesn't mean that everything is back to normal, but I appreciate each good day as a break from bad days and mediocre days and days when I just feel lost.  And now that I've worked two whole days, we have tomorrow off due to cold weather!

I continue to be in awe of the support we have. So often people tell us, "I don't know what to say," or, "I'm thinking of and praying for you but I wish there were more I could do." I certainly understand that...as somewhat of a people-pleaser, I always wish I could help people who are sad to feel better. But the truth is, there isn't anything to say or do besides what so many of you already are doing. The thoughts and prayers keep us going day after day. It doesn't take the sadness away, or heal the hurt, but it does bring comfort. It helps to know people are there for us and care about us. Even just letting us talk is amazingly helpful. It helps us to process what we are feeling, and it helps us to keep Henry's memory alive. We don't want to make anyone sad, but it helps to share our stories and memories.

So the next time you feel helpless, or that there's nothing more you can do, just continue what you are doing.  We are making it through each day thanks in part to your love and support.
