Rough Day

Hi,
I think it's going to be rough, the closer I get to her year death date. I can't believe it has almost been a year. It has been almost a whole year since I got to see her, hold her, talk to her. And this is just the beginning. I have the rest of my life to go.
I left church early today, because I just needed to be alone. It was good. I cried a lot and looked at her pictures and just missed her.
I still can't believe this happened to us. It truly seems unreal. I don't know if it will ever seem like a real part of my life.
I just miss her so much!

  1. I was thinking about Katie a lot this week and last week so I hoped onto youur blog. I can't believe this has happened to your family either. She was such a dynamic talented strong little girl. I liked her a lot. Why does it feel like the world continues when your life feels like it stopped? Take care and let your heart pour out it's saddness and grief. I love you!!!

  2. I've been thinking about Katie and how the upcoming weeks would be really hard for you. It doesn't seem possible that it has been almost a full year. It isn't much but I want you to know we are thinking of you, praying for you and sending our love your way. Taylor keeps her Katie T-shirt hanging over her bed. She misses her and thinks about her alot.

    ~ Do you remember the flannel green & blue plaid pants with "GYMNASTICS" on the back? Taylor got them from Katie a few years ago. She has worn them so much the back has pretty much disinegrated. She really wants me to fix them but I'm just not sure it's possible. They may be going in a frame or something?!

    Sometimes it's the little unexpected things that can give the most comfort ~ I have a feeling she will be keeping these pants forever!

  4. I really think Thunder is channeling Katie. There aren't two days that go by that she doesn't do something that reminds me of Katie. Yesterday she cut out of gym class 10 minutes early. The way she told it, it was an incredible adventure.

    Thunder tells stories with full sound effects. Mostly, it seems like she's not in a hurry to grow up and be mature but more interested in enjoying the ride.

    I know Thunder is thinking of Katie a lot, we were just reminiscing about her in the last week while driving somewhere. We loved her goofyness.

    Love, Martha
