Dear Nathalie, I just re-read my last letter to you, and I realized something. In the grand scheme of things, I shouldn't feel awful at all that I've gone another year without posting. When you finally sit down and read these letters, it won't really matter that I missed a whole year. The important thing is that I didn't MISS the whole year. We spent the year doing so many fun things together. You spent the year growing and learning and becoming even more of your own person. I spent the year growing and learning and becoming a better, stronger mommy. Last year was not an easy year for me. A wave of what we fondly call "ninja grief" around here hit me like a ton of bricks and I spent a good portion of my time feeling really down. Your grandpa was able to re-group, re-marry, and start a new chapter of his life. That wasn't easy for mommy. But I see how happy he is....how he hasn't forgotten, just that he decided to keep going. Forward is...
A blog to share thoughts and memories with my daughter....and a way to keep my mom in my thoughts.
