I survived!

Yesterday was 6 months since our Corbin Scott became and angel. It was a very difficult day filled with many tears but we made it through! We went to the cemetery with our dog and changed out his flowers and played "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" (the hawaiian version) for him. On the way home we listened to all the music from his memorial video and bawled our eyes out. Yes, we got some looks from passing cars but we loved every minute of it. Last night we shared a glass of wine and shared with each other the happy memories we have of Corbin. When I woke up yesterday, I didn't think I could get through the day but luckily we had a lot of stuff to do around the house and I had cleaned up his room last week so it was a bit easier. His swing is still sitting in our living room and will have to be moved before the realtor comes to take pictures but I'll do it at the last minute and put it back when she leaves. I told my DH I just can't bear to not have it in the living room with me. I used to cry every time I looked at it, and it still makes me sad but it's also a security blanket of sorts. Plus my dog will be upset if it's not there (I moved his high chair and I thought the dog was going to lose it). Anyway, I guess there's really no point to this post. Just wanted to share with those of you who have not made it to the 6 month point yet that it will be tough but you will get through it. And to all of you who have been where I am now, thank you for all your love, support and advise.

Maggie- remind me at next group to find out from you where Aidan's site is at. I'd love to go visit it when I go to visit Corbin next time )

*hugs* I'm glad you were able to share those memories with each other and that you "survived" the day.

Thank you for the advice. My six-month is approaching next week and I already feel antsy about it. I'll probably go visit Ethan this weekend as well. I'm glad the weekend was kind to you and you and YH connected.

I played that at Sofia's funeral along with Held by Natalie Grant... it is a great song. I'm glad you made it through the day... it gives me hope I will make it through as Sofia's birthday is just one month away!
