6 Months

Next week we hit 6 months without Will. It is easy to remember the date since it's my birthday. I am sure Will would have changed the day he passed away if he had the power. He wouldn't have wanted something so tragic to happen on my birthday.  I've always loved birthdays even though I usually have too high of hopes haha. What can you do?

We hope to order Will's headstone this Christmas Break. Life has been busy and choosing something to mark Will's resting place.  A co worker of Will's found a video of Will pretending to be Santa. He talks about visiting the naughty list people. He wants to deliver them coal. Will loved talking about delivering coal. He is a comedian through and through.

Will loved to do anything he could to make people laugh. He had no problem being the brunt of people's jokes. He took it in stride. He told embarrassing stories about himself on the radio. He went to an MMA fight and was escorted out by a female security guard. His listeners loved to hear the stories.

Because Will and I are only 4 years apart we grew up doing a lot together. We were the first grand kids on the Betenson side. We were spoiled rotten and we loved it! Will and I were able to go on trips with the grandparents, visit places we'd never seen.

This Holiday season I need to focus on the good and the wonderful memories I have with Will. One of my favorite memories is Will coming home with a huge Fisher Price Farm for his daughter Sullivan. I was with him when she unwrapped it. She loved it and listening to hear make the animal sounds was amazing. Will did everything he could to be a good dad. I am glad he can watch over Sullivan daily.

Do you have a favorite memory of Will?




I am looking forward to spending some down time with my family. Hopefully it will snow so it at least will be pretty outside.

I plan to go to the movies, sleep in, make whatever I want for breakfast and NOT EAT SCHOOL LUNCH......I am most excited about that!
