August

Yesterday marked 2 months since Will’s passing. I don’t think I will ever forget the day Will passed away. It’ll be a day of celebrating Will and maybe my birthday. It’s weird to think Will’s only been gone for 2 months. Some days it feels like yesterday and other days it seems like he’s been gone forever.
I started a new job 3 weeks ago. I’m working with preschoolers, but with a different program. I am so grateful for a change of pace and an opportunity to help these children. I’m working with the Head Start program..my bestie Amanda worked for 2 years trying to get me to join her.  Thankfully the program had an opening that fit perfectly with what I needed. I know Heavenly Father has been looking out for me.

Bec received this painting from her friends. Some days it brings me a lot of joy and peace. This week I just cry over it. I miss my brother. Football season has started and lots of things remind me of Will. I’ve been trying to focus on the good, but this weekend I’m just going to let the tears out. I can’t help but think of darling 2 yr old Sullivan missing out on Dad time. Oh how I wish for one more day of Will enjoying time with his daughter. Thankfully we have lots of pictures and stories to tell Sully when she’s older. 

There is a reason why this blog has ramblings in the title....that’s what I’m doing right now. 

On August 28th Will would have been 32. It’s the first week of school so I’m positive I’ll stay busy. Will didn’t really love birthdays. He didn’t like the fanfare or attention. 

On Wednesday say hi to a stranger, give a sincere compliment, call your mom or a friend you haven’t talked to in awhile. Do things that remind you of Will. This is the best way to honor him in my opinion.  

I’ll be making Peanut Butter Fingers (one of Will’s favorite treats) in his honor. Text me if you’d like one. If I’ve learned anything this summer it’s that I can do hard things. Life is hard but we can also find a lot of joy!
