Life, as we all know, continues. We get up, we stop at Starbucks, we go to work, we answer emails, we go home and make dinner. Our household is still going and we are attempting to do just that. Some friends and family no longer bring up the subject and have resumed talking to us as though [...]

Butterfly Baby
Today was my first day back to work. A week from the day we heard the news. I made it until 2pm and then excused myself to go. My body was aching and I was mentally exhausted. I gave it a good go. I gathered the wine bottles people had dropped at my desk, the flowers [...]
