My heart is warmed by your thoughtful comments, emails, and messages regarding Bailey's passing last week. I don't know how I would have survived without your support.
While cleaning up her things, I dug out the custom portrait that Nan Lawson made for our little family last December, which we've yet to get framed. I cried happy tears, seeing the three of us together. I love that she'll always be remembered in this way.
Coming home to an empty house has been the hardest part. But being outdoors in nature has helped me heal. We had a nice intimate celebration on the 4th, and relaxed with friends at the Seattle Beer Fest over the weekend.
We took motorcycle rides to the park and lazy afternoon naps in the sun. We ate sandwiches on the beach and read books in the shade. With Bailey right there beside us.
