I wore my best yuppie polo and took the expected 'heat' for it. Dinner was sumptuous and the wine was good. The company was even better as I forgot, for a moment, what was present in my life. Two ducks mated blatently right in front of us as we enjoyed our wine, a sight that this northern girl had never witnessed. Circle of life? It goes on and on without even a hic up.
Many wonderful friends have stepped up to distract us from our grief. And for this I am grateful. I tried hard to enjoy this luxury and feast of the senses without blinking back tears too many times. But such are my days. I am keenly aware of all of life's beauty and the red sky on our return surely looked like heaven. More blinking back tears. I am still very fragile, but am moving forward slowly but surely.
Thank you all of you for your kind cards, calls, words, and gestures. You cannot know the comfort it brings. I thank and love you all. xoxo

Oh Sissy, all you can do it take it one day at a time. There will be many tears and that's okay... it's so normal and your loss is still so fresh. Let the tears fall where they may... friends and family will understand and love you just the same. Where ever you are, whatever you are doing, Dane is watching over you in his new place where he is happy and healthy! xoxoxoxo
Sounds like a blessed evening. I'm sorry you couldn't enjoy it as much as you might have. Good to have such friends, though.
That's exactly true -- one day at a time. Ducks and all.
