Day 110
Day 110 and I’m trying to catch up. 6 loads of laundry, new sheets on all of the beds, trash out, dish washer unloaded and loaded, French toast breakfast, groceries picked up, Peloton live class, steak dinner, all children showered, quick YouTube video, no new sick kids, and a 7 mile jog.

Day 91
Day 91 and it’s been 3 months since he’s been gone. Don’t worry, no one called, text, messaged, stopped by, or anything else to check on us. I guess that’s just it then. They’ve moved on from it and are back in full swing to their lives but they miss him SO much lol what…
