Open Thread Post 99 - Fun Few Hours

I know I've mentioned before that the busier I am, the better I feel. The grief wave did hit this morning for a few minutes, which of course took me by surprise since I didn't have it yesterday when I thought I would.

I think today her urn just caught my eye, and the thought just comes, “I still can’t believe it.“ One day at a time. One day at a time.

For Grace's of Gurley, I have a great relationship with one 13 year old girl, S, and we do all kinds of things together. She’s the one helping me with the new fiction book for her age group we’ve been working on for a year and a half now. She’s very imaginative and fun to be around.(I just started up again on Saturday since the last time I'd typed, Dec 18th)

She came over for a few hours today and she asked me to help her come up with things for her bucket list (50!) which is part of a homework assignment. We set up shop outdoors on a beautiful day and completed her task. We made a dessert, we played volleyball with Morgan's ball, and she’s improved a lot since we last played. When we went to get the ball, she noticed the Bath and Body Works cologne that Morgan had left here over the summer. She sprayed it and loved it, so I told her she could have it. It made her happy and I'm happy for that. Hubby came home and we had dinner, then it was time for her to go.

I'm thankful that she treats me NO DIFFERENT than she ever did. I'm thankful that I get to be a part of her life, and the lives of several kids here I'm pretty close to.
