As always, this space can be used for anything you would like. Nice memory you'd like to share? Need to vent? Have something that would support someone else?

I was very busy with work today and nothing at all interesting happened on my walk. I like the really busy days because it feels normal, less time to remember that my life will never be the same. How do I put this? Morgan had not lived in the same HOUSE as us since summer of 2017, so sometimes I just kind of “pretend” that she's gone like that. We texted a lot and talked a few times a week, and I miss knowing what’s going on in her life. That's not as crazy as it sounds if I really believe she is in the afterlife, and I really do. So what is she doing? Eating? Exploring? Swimming? Playing with animals? She definitely doesn't need me anymore, but sometimes I miss being needed by her. I can't just turn off being her mom…

Homesickness is still very much there.

This indeed is a very good night to share the picture of the urns my pottery friend sent me. I'd given her the vision of one of those wax candle warmers and found a picture of a metal teardrop urn, and we sketched out the idea of how to combine. The top one is for me and my hubby, and the bottom one is for my son. There is a compartment for the ashes under the candle. I could not be more happy! Thank you Pottery Friend!
