We’re taking the kids up to the hospital shortly to see their grandma again. I’m not positive, but this might be the last time we see her. I’m full of sadness for all of us who will be left behind. Yes, Carmen will be in a better place, and I’m happy for her in that respect, but her loss will leave a gaping hole in our lives. It will take all kinds of adjustment.

In accordance with my mood and the situation, it’s a dreary, cloudy, cold day outside, with a winter weather advisory in effect. Perfect. The trees are crystallized with frost, beautiful and forlorn.

    We just got back from my grandfather’s funeral. My kids handled it pretty well. Good luck and I love your blog.
