XP: Random Updates
I have some tremendously special people in my life. Tomorrow marks the two year anniversary of Christopher's due date and is a date I have been dreading. I have gotten half a dozen cards from friends. It is so sweet that they still remember the day and think of it, it makes me feel like I am not grieving alone and as hard as tomorrow will be, it is lifting my spirits a lot. My boss and I are going out tomorrow for manicures and pedicures and then I am having dinner with friends and spending the night at my parent's house, at this moment I don't feel like going out, but I know I will be glad I did.
I went back to work two weeks ago. I am starting slow, just a few hours each day, but it feels great to have something normal in my life. I really appreciate all of you who took the time to give me advice and push me to make that step.
I have been on several dates with a guy I met about a year and a half ago in my grief counseling group. He lost his son two years ago when his wife, who was suffering from severe ppd, took her life and their son's life when their son was six weeks old. He and I have been friendly the whole time, but a few weeks ago he asked me out for coffee and I decided to take a leap and go. We are taking it super slow, but it feels great to be dating someone who already knows my story and understands my feelings.
I had a car accident eighteen months ago that left me with a traumatic brain injury. I was broadsided and flipped by a drunk driver. My personal injury claim looks like it is about to settle and I will have enough money to buy myself a new house. I am really sad about losing my other house, but truth be told, I am doing much better emotionally since I moved out.
Thanks to all of you who have reached out to me, I have really appreciated the support and advice. Going forward I'm going to try to contribute more here than I take.
