I carry this photo in my wallet.
My kids had so much fun at EOK Family Fun Dayl
it was such a great day & night.
I loved this photo.
I never thought that 105 days later I'd be handing this pic to the police to ID almost everyone in my brand new van

We still have the strawberries, raspberries and blackberries my kids planted in the backyard. Harry's chives keep coming up every year. Milly's mint is overcrowding her pot & spilling over. Daniel's tree is getting so big now.
It feels so wrong.

Harry hanging out waiting for his timer to go off so he could join his friends on the rest of the school trip. This is what Harry and I did every morning at 530. It was our special time together. Of course by 630 the rest would be in bed with us. #MISSTHEMLIKECRAZY
I love sunflowers.
A thrift store find that made me so happy way back when. It was something we needed (we were big on reuseables) but finding it in the thrift store when I went in for fabric meant I didn't have to make it.

#MyLife was so wonderful. Miss them so so much. Nothing makes you feel better then having your kids help to take care of you when you aren't well. #NotOneMore#ConsequencesMatter
Daniel was a budding cook and a very good one. He loved to be creative in the kitchen. It started when he was around 3 making a fresh soup for daddy every day when he came home from work out of random spices and condiments. By age 6 he was making one pot spaghetti.
11 yrs ago today Harry went on his first and only school trip. I met his best friend, the girl I had heard about for months. They played ponies together, their bday's were a couple of days apart.
Harry's first school trip should not have been his only one. #ConsequencesMatter
Glimpses of my beautiful life.
A beautiful, bountiful garden lovingly tended by Ed and our boys.
Re Harry's surgery, we had 3 options or as we called them, other lives.
Don't drive impaired.

My beautiful life on May 31, 2015
As May closes & June starts, I know what's in front of me. It's the month where Ed died.
To be clear: I am here still counting & still missing my loves that are gone too soon. Most days on my knees, exhausted, broken & still here.
Still here.
When Harry did this, it was cause for for HUGE celebration!!!
I lived for seemingly little (but actually earth shattering) moments like that.
God I miss this so much.

Harry at his first ever War Amp CHAMP weekend. Those weekends were so amazing and we are so grateful for all the connections we made as we learned how to help suppprt our little amputee. His last year Harry stood on stage & showed off his adapted bike. #notonemore
Aftermath of Harry's first birthday. Ed is lying on the floor in the background. Harry was learning how to sit upright and by one year could life his head off the floor on his own for 3 seconds. He worked so so hard, my Harry.
