Traveled to GR on Thursday to pack up my house and get it ready for moving on Saturday. My brother and sister-in-law came up and with my neighbor’s help loaded up the truck in record time. After they left for Indy, I stayed and cleaned house for 5 hours. My sister-in-law said as she was driving off from my house that “Candle in the wind” was playing by Elton John and she felt as if Brit touched her shoulder and said “Thanks for helping my mom move”. She was very moved by that! – When she told me – I just cried. It was very emotional for me. I miss her terribly. Every minute of every day!

I don’t think there was any bone or muscle in my body that didn’t hurt. lol

I thought it would be harder to leave GR, but it truly wasn’t. I was struggling more with not having Brit’s stuff with me here in Indy. Now her things are here and I feel better for that.

I saw Carolyn, her best friend, and gave her the scrapbook I made of Brittany and their friendship. We both cried and hugged. What a blessing she was to my daughter.

I’m trying really hard to see the light! Some days I do better than others. My strength comes from God. As he promised – I get enough every day to get through it. I’m praying for easier days with less pain. I need that.

until next time,
