Oh Emily

I know the struggle too well

Some days all I want to do is “ go down Memory Lane” …. other days I am just not emotionally strong enough( and will I ever be?) …. I have so many photos of my Mark …. I often think my phone might just explode ( so I’m always creating a new flash drive to back them up to)

My goal this summer, before Mark’s 66th birthday on July 24 is to create a Shutterfly book or two

I tell myself “ today is the day I’m going to start it…. Then the day slips away …

Goals and decisions are always a challenge ( plus I inherited my Mom’s gift of procrastination)

Memory lane helps me smile…. It also makes me cry …. thinking of all our plans and adventures we’d hoped to do in our

“ senior” years

What I usually remind myself with is Mark is out of pain

He’s fishing everyday in every sea of this universe and beyond

My heart is so full ( shattered and broken too) that my tears are all the love that has not found a place to go

That’s me today

“One day at a time “ is/ was our motto

My sister made a wood plaque with this on it

Love & Blessings Emily
