Mostly good week

[mvt]

I am feeling good and sorry for myself at the same time. The good part is the day after Mom's funeral I started a new job. I am doing customer service /tech support for a Canadian electronics manufacturer

sending lots of virtual hugs to you right now. I totally understand your feelings. I hope tomorrow goes well. It sounds like you will get to use your talents and gifts to bless your FIL in your way while Alex and Marah do so by being there to share in the excitement of the game.

I will be with you in my thoughts.

*hugs*

Alex is unlikely to share in the excitement of the game, but the fact that he is willing to sit through an entire football game to be there for his Dad makes it even more special. Though I'm willing to bet that he is going to be on his laptop the whole time. :)

In my own losses I find that doing familiar family rituals for the first time without the lost one is so very hard. My thoughts will be with you. Make sure to talk about her and remember happy things. I am sure this is what she'd want.

I still try to call my grandma (gone since 2001) and it kills me that I can't.

Hugs to you all.

So far I haven't brought up any memories; I've just been there to listen to whatever he wanted to talk about, and to respond if I had anything that I thought might be useful to say. I don't want to bring anything up that he might not be ready for.
