Peace IS Good

Today has been a strange, amazing day. A roller coaster of emotions. Not a bad day, just a strange one. I realized how quickly time passes. 7 years ago we lost our little Katie. It's never been a happy time to remember, but today it was different. Today for the first time in 7 years I was in the same place where it happened. The weather actually fit my mood. It was cold, gray, and a little dismal. I was kind of sad. Then I remembered how incredibly blessed I have been over the past 7 years. I have had so much fun. I have met the most amazing people. I have seen places that most people didn't know existed. I really don't need to be sad when I think of Katie. I had a little girl, and even if it was for only a few months she will be with me forever. I have an AWESOME son who never lets me forget I have so much more to learn. I have a husband who loves me. I have a family that even though I bug them, they still care for me. I have good friends..strike that, I have GREAT friends who always know what to say! Today was a day of learning. Today I listened to my son say a prayer to get rid of all the hate in the world. Today I found that I have done a good job teaching my son about love and loss. Today was a good day.
To all those who care enough to read this silly little blog, I want you to know how very thankful I am for you. You have made my life better just by knowing you.. (and Nan, "I've had many friends, but only one that mattered"...I am with you in spirit..)
