Hello and Thank You!

Katesmama

I haven't been here in what seems like forever.  I just wanted to stop in catch up and tell you all how much Kate and I have appreciated the thoughts, prayers, hugs and well wishes.  The support has been amazing and comforting.   
It's been a really rough week but we've managed to get through.  My grandma has been staying with us which has been both good and bad.  I'm ready to have my house back but I'm dreading the lonely, quiet after Kate goes to bed.  I guess I'll just have to spend some more time here. 

I know husbands can be royal pains in the ass.  I know they can be thoughtless asshats that need to be smacked.  I also know, that losing the person you chose to give yourself to is much worse than just about anything any man could possibly do.  Having the other half of your soul be gone is a pain like nothing I could have ever imagined.  Love on your sometimes, stupid, naive, thoughtless, jerk of a husband.  I knew this was coming and I still didn't love on him enough.  Reality is, it would never be enough. 

 Enough sappy sh*t.  What else has been happening over here?  Catch me up on the last few weeks.  Who's knocked up?  Who's been flamed?  Was it good?  Any promotions?  Any drama?  Tell me, tell me.

Hi there. Glad to hear you and Kate are doing okay. I read your blog and you are so gifted at describing your situation...so beautiful but at the same time heart-wrenching. You are one strong lady and are seriously inspiring to me .Anyway enough of the sap, it must have been pretty quiet around here because I can't think of any flames.

Hello! It's nice to "see" you - or at least that beautiful little girl in your siggy.    

I can only imagine the next few weeks will be pretty rough with finding a new routine. You're doing an amazing job, as always.  Its unfortunate that we all need reminded in these ways not to take our Hs for granted.  Scott was so lucky/blessed to have someone that loved him so much - so unconditionally.

I don't think you've missed much, aside from maybe *another* "ready for Kindy?" post or another "what do you put in your kids' Easter baskets" post.  We could definitely use more people around here!

Hi Brandi, glad things are going as well as can be expected for you.  I have thought about so many times in the past week.  Your words about your love for your husband do make me pull my husband closer each time I think about you.

And ladies, as a show of solidarity with Katesmama, lets please get this board moving!  I'm sure she could use the distraction.

Just want to send (((Hugs))). I have been thinking about you and wondering how you were doing.

It's completely surreal isn't it? ?

Let's see, DD dressed herself this morning. ?It's pretty fantastical, in an eye-watering sort of way. ?I have to take a picture of this one.

I'm subjecting my children to industrial music this morning and don't care, it makes me happy. ?lol

*hugs* I hope you & the little miss are ok.

Hey, lady!   I am glad I get to see you two different places.

Hmm.

L stayed dry all night for the first time in underwear at night.  Exciting day.

eclairs forces me, and others into shopping splurges.

((hugs))  sending you lots of good healing thoughts!  And I will take your words to heart.

Glad you guys are hanging in there.  I'm sure it will get easier in time, but I know it must feel like there's a huge hole in your lives and hearts right now.  MH has been a thoughtless asshat this week, so your advice is timely. I'll try to take it.

The most drama we had this week was over someone considering buying not one, but two expensive dresses for her daughter.  LOL  I hope you'll hang out here more - maybe you can add some spice to the board!

You are a very inspiring woman.  Your daughter is a lucky girl. 

 (((hugs)))

Your words about your DH truly inspire, I really do think twice about DH's little oddities. DD can skip, a big accomplishment for ballet class.

Hi B! Nice to "see" you here!  Hope you and Kate are doing ok.

OMG B, "Love on your sometimes, stupid, naive, thoughtless, jerk of a husband."  That made me spit my food out!

I am glad you guys are getting through day by day, you seem to have your head on straight more than anyone I know and you and Kate will be ok even though you will always miss Scott, you are so strong even when you feel at your weakest.

As for what to do when Kate goes to bed, I say you spend your nights with a glass of wine and LR editing all the awesome photos you will take with that great new camera.

I am rarely on here but have been the past few days, see you on the other board!
