not really alone “I miss you extra today.” she said as she walked through the sand and allowed the tears to fall. The ocean was their place & she had loved being there with him. Here he had asked her to be his forever. They had lived & played & laughed & carved their names in the sand. It was hard to breathe without him today.

I have writer’s block. I’ve been trying to write for the past few months and I sit down and get something down and then I get freaked out about putting it on here. I’m not sure why. Now that this is “public” it is a lot harder for me to just sit down and write

Memorial Day I miss my old memorial day. I miss when it was about a day off to spend all together. A day to go to the beach or BBQ. We did always talk about WHY this day was important; but it was always such a happy day spent with family. I miss spending memorial
The St. George Triathlon was this past weekend. We had a much smaller group this year, but it was still an amazing thing to be part of. Brad was training for this in 2008. And he was having a blast doing it. He would be so excited after a good workout and when he
