3 Months

Today is 3 months since Paige passed away. I was going through pictures this weekend and found a set of photos I took of her and Esme last January. Paige was so happy to finally be a mommy.

I miss her so much!

Everyday . . . everyday.

Perspective.

Sorting out the fluff from what really matters.

Wanting to remember but at the same time trying to keep my emotions in check . . . a struggle. I'm so thankful for DH and the kids . . . they understand when mom needs a few moments alone, to remember, to grieve.

I knew it would be hard to lose her . . . knew that that day would eventually come . . . but I had NO idea how hard it would be. The depth of her friendship in my heart is more than I understood. I'm sad I didn't realize that before.

The last few months before she was really sick, I kept having a feeling that I wanted to get our picture together. But I felt funny asking her--like why would I take a picture of us walking at 5 in the morning? But, you know what? She wouldn't have cared. She would have been happy to do it because I wanted to.

Paige was amazing.

And I miss her so.

This is a beautiful photo. I feel like I knew her from talking with you and think this photo captures her spirit.
I know I don't have the words to make things easier for you, but know that I'm here. :)

I have no words to give you...if I had it would just have been a cliche...and I don't do those. I wish I could just sit with you, hold your hand and listen to you talk about Paige.

Sending a big {{hug}}

I'm so sorry you are missing your friend. I bet you really touched her life in a special way too. From the different times you have spoken about her is sounds like you had an amazing bond. Thinking of you today. Sending a hug as well.
