While my mom has been here this week there has been plenty of room for stories and memories about Charlie. There’s been time for tears and laughter too. Susan and Tony have been in and out frequently which means our rocking chairs on the porch are filled more often than not. As we try to keep moving in the midst of grief, we have made sure to have yummy food, plenty of wine (or scotch or martinis- blech!), and good doses of distraction. We watched a beautiful sunset at the Gut, Susan hosted an afternoon at the beach, we went sailing and Grammie even threw the kids in the car to go get ice cream last night. Together we can get through this.
