I'm watching the broadcast of the Boston Strong concert and I can't help but think of Dina.  First because her all time favorite group, New Kids on the Block, performed.  They played Boston back in...

Going to the cemetery to visit Dina's grave is tricky in that she is buried in the city where we were born and raised but we bought our home about 15 miles from there.  Because of work and getting...

Tough, unexpected moment this morning.  I work from home on Fridays and I had some music playing on Grooveshark on the laptop.  From the other room I could hear Michael Jackson's Don't Stop Til You...

Today marks the two month point.  Mind blowing.  I can't believe two months have gone by already.  I can still recall the details of the morning vividly.  I got the call from rehab at a little...

Last week my mother-in-law and I took a visit into the hopsital where my wife spent the last 4 months of her life.  It wasn't as difficult as I expected.  I think partly because when she was on the...

Over the weekend I took my daughter to a little carnival type event a couple towns over.  Weather was beautiful and we had fun but it really hit me walking down the street after parking...this is...

This past Saturday was one month to the date that Dina passed away.  It also would have been her 34th birthday.  Followed by what would have been her fourth Mother's Day on Sunday.  Much to my...

Yard work made this situation real on Sunday.  My 3 year old daughter was out with some of my friends and their daughter and it was nice out so I decided to get some stuff done.  And then it hit...

EHS class of 1997 senior prom.  If I'm being technical that was our first date.  Dina's best friend since 3rd grade, Kim, who was more sister than friend, was dating a guy I was good friends with...

Yesterday was 3 weeks since Dina passed.  Seems impossible that 3 weeks have passed already.  I was at work and I found myself wondering, for the first time, when she was going to call me that...

Couldn't help but think this morning that had everything stayed the course the first time Dina went to rehab then she likely would have been home by now, probably for at least a week or so at this...

It has only been 2+ weeks since my wife died so everything is still so fresh but this feels downright impossible.  Nothing feels the same and I can't imagine it ever will.  It's even difficult to...
