Time Marching On

It's been four whole weeks since Layne passed away. It seems like it just happened in some ways. I can't quite get used to him being gone. In other ways it seems like it's been so very long since he was here. I don't know when the part about missing him will ever go away. It probably doesn't - just would be nice to be able to function a little better.
It's kind of an odd day. The twentieth of last month was when we celebrated his birthday. It's the four weeks like I mentioned above since he passed away and yet in a couple of days, on the 22nd, it'll be a whole month. I'm not sure how to count these things.
Our anniversary is less than a month away. Nineteen years.

Pioneers

This morning at breakfast our nine year old randomly commented that it would be hard to be a pioneer. When I asked her why she responded with; "They had to keep going when someone died.". I agreed.
I'm not sure if she was thinking of her Dad or not when she came up with that - but, it sure brought the thought to my mind. We're going to do our best to move forward without our husband and father here with us.
