Well, we've made it through 2 weeks without Rob. Still feels weird not having him around and will probably feel that way for a while. Chris and I went to a memorial mass yesterday at Blessed Trinity Church in Frankenmuth with the Knights of Columbus where they read the names of all of their people that have passed this past year and that was followed by our Grand Knight reading the names of fellow Knights that have passed, my Robert included. Afterwards, we did a little shopping and treated ourselves to lunch at Hooters. I'm going to run a few errands after getting this done. I need to get some innertubes for our utility trailer as the tires keep going flat. We're going to work the fish fry at the K of C this Friday and then Saturday morning, get up, pack the van and head to St. Ignace so I can go visit Jason. I haven't told him we're planning on coming up this weekend as I want him to be surprised when I show up. Then, next week, when we return, it will be time to start job hunting. I can't put it off forever. I've had a couple of people tell me not to worry about it. Go back to school and let the state support me for a while, I deserve it. I'm not that kind of person. Yes, Rob and I paid our share of taxes to the state but, if I can find a job without having to go back to school, then that is what I"m going to do.
I hope everyone have a great week. We got a little sun yesterday and have had a few peeks of it this morning. Tomorrow, they're saying we won't even make it out of the low 40's. It is that time of year. God bless all!

It's good to hear from you. I'm glad that you are making it through this tough time. It is hard to get adjusted to a new life and new beginnings but I know that God will lead you in the right direction. Just do what is the best for you. I wouldn't rush into any decisions about anything right now. I know you miss Rob and your schedule that you had established. I'm glad that you and Chris are able to get out and go to lunch. Take care of yourself, you are a good friend. Love, Martha

Hi Brenda, Glad you are making efforts to take care of your time....keeping busy is the key....though I know there will be times that even that may not seem to help....it helped me alot to go to work everyday and keep occupied so I would not just think of her and how things should have been better. or different or longer here with me....keeping busy helps to go on with life and the living. What she would have wanted me to do....I am sure Rob would feel the same way. Want you to live! Take your time on big decisions though because you may feel very different in just a few months!
Hope you have a super terrific time with Jason!
Lots of love!

Brenda, Sounds like you are doing o.k. I think it will take time to get used to all the adjustments that need to be done. I plan on writing Jason soon but your secret is safe with me as I know you want to surprise Jason next week. I agree with everyone else that you now need to take care of you. Take Care. Love, Georgia

Now is a good time to job hunt if you get CHristmas seasonal work, it may go on to be permanent and if it doesn't it still gives you more to add to your resume. Have you thought about something over in Frankenmuth? I hear they pay well. I know when I was grieving working actually gave my mind a rest, I had to think about work and couldn't dwell on anything else for those hours.
