Open Thread Post 118 - Flat

I don't think I cried today. I don't think I laughed today. I have felt flat. I was active one way or another most of the day, taking the dog for her walk, reviewing medical records, and I also had a very nice long visit with one of the moms I met last weekend. Her beautiful daughter died about six weeks before Morgan in a fatal car accident.

She, like me, is facing her very first Mother's Day without her daughter. She has a lot of nearby family and friends and is facing a very different day tomorrow than I am. I think she's doing very well, and she told me that she has not been angry with God at all either. I guess we both understand that He's God and we are not. We can't possibly know the why's. But we know God is love and just, so we both trust that, even in our pain.

In the end, we both still can't wait til Monday….
