Because there are good days

Petunia844

I just wanted to write a post about a good day I had yesterday, just to show those with a newer loss, or those in a rut: there are good days.  DH and I went on a hike, we got a little "lost" off our trail and ended up scrambling over boulders and even at one point taking off our shoes and socks to walk through a really narrow part of a river, the water was ice cold!  It was so peaceful and fun out there and the best part was when DH commented excitedly that I was so much more adventurous than I used to be.  I had a big huge smile because for the first time I felt like I was living up to my promise to Peyton, that I would live a fuller better life for him, and take him with me every step of the way.  Yesterday was a wonderful day with MH, I did think of Peyton, but it was in a positive way, the way I hope to think of him more and more as time passes.

I wish there was a 'Like' button.  I am so glad that you had a good day.  Thank you for posting this.  So far I mostly have bad days and numb days, but every so often the good ones sneak in.

I'm so glad to hear this.  It's encouraging to hear stories of women having happy days after the loss of a child.  I have occasional days that are mostly good, but I still haven't gotten a full day in without breaking down at some point.  I think it's beautiful that your making choices in your life the way that you would have wanted Peyton to.  Good for you!
