Just an update...
I can't believe I haven't been on or journaled since 1/3, been a roller coaster of emotions as it always is. Guess I'm dreading Greg's 1 year date coming up next month, Feb 8th… Just can't get around it can we? But I made it through lot's of other first's and I know I will make it through this one too.
Just been missing him so much lately, but I know this is strange but i really feel he's been with me more and leaving me all kinds of signs. Started Jan 1, when Wes (Hubby) and I were in Walmart and I was telling him how much I wanted Jesus Calling by Sarah Young, also wanted the Hard Copy where I can journal. Well we went over to the book dept. and he picked up the first copy and I picked up mine and the 'book mark' was posted to Feb 8th, to me that was a sign, I told Wes I had to get that copy, all the others were marked Jan 1. :) I also love the passage marked there… Every couple of days, I hear his favorite song, Chicken Fried, met some new neighbors and their son's name is Greg, met someone else and their Golden retriever is called Tucker and the list goes on and on. :) Maybe Greg hears me and knows these last couple of weeks have been a struggle?
One last update, hate my new job, was nothing like I thought it was going to be, :( Employers are awful, cuss or yell at you daily. work you en extra hour and half very day without pay, but I'm keeping documents and going to go to the labor board, but in the mean time, I tune them out and tell Wes I will try a few more days, but don't' be surprised if I can't hack it. He says it school… Love that man.
Also was sad today, just missing my little Shih-tzu, Pixie, so is Penny...
So going to keep me at GOOD, don't know if I will ever be at excellent? But that's OK, I'll take GOOD and I wouldn't be that far into this journey without you all here. Love ay's!
Greg's Mum, Julie

I love it that you recognized all of Greg\'s signs. They are so comforting.
I am sorry about your job, it sounds miserable!
I have lost four pets since Josh died, it compounds the grief.
I don\'t think I will be excellent either. Good is ok for me.
Take care,
Leda
your signs are great!!!!
so sorry about your job,,,yuk!
love ya!
Good is the new excellent and that\'s okay. :) Love the signs that you are receiving and I\'m sure that Greg is thrilled that you are recognizing them.
Sorry about the job and if it doesn\'t improve you don\'t need that. There are always other jobs out there and being in that kind of environment is the pits.
Appreciated reading how you are my friend and take care of YOU!
Loving care,

I will be surely thinking of you and Greg on February 8th. I work a lot and am not able to keep up with dates in writing but do remember. My Michael was also 33 and also a heroin overdose. Been 5 years 2 months for me and it is gentler but still so painful and I miss my boy. I am sorry that your job sucks. I am fed up with mine but kind of stuck with it as it is a profession (dog groomer) and I have to do it until I retire from it. My remaining son is a recovering (for the umpteenth time) heroin addict. I am sick of it. I hope Greg and Michael are up there rooting for my son Jason. At least, that is what I want to think
Peace
