- 2 months since I took a "Leave" from work
- 1 week since I’ve been back to work
- 9 years, 4 days since dad died
- 1 month since mom died
But also….
- 1 day since I had dinner with 2 of my very first friends
- 3 days since I took a bike ride with Simona and ended up here
- 1 year 5 months since Emmett was born
- And lots of other good stuff too
Trying to bring balance at all times. Happiness and sorrow can live together.
I’ve been reading the Harry Potter series. I read the first one during one of the first nights I slept over at mom’s this summer. I was desperate for something to read and for some reason my mom had the first one tucked in among her large collection of books. I read it quickly and when I learned that the 7th and final book was to be released this summer, I thought I’d try to catch up. Just finished book 5 last night – I can now go see the movie. But I feel a bit hesitant about it. I cried - a lot – as I finished reading the end of this book. For anyone who has not read it, but may one day, I wont’ give it all away. Let’s just say that the author captures death, loss, grief, love and friendship and tells you exactly how it feels. Since I’ve been experiencing all of these emotions lately lots of chords in my heart were being struck. So I’m not sure I want to watch it all on screen. But I also really want to see it.
Now I need to finish book 6 by Saturday.
Yours with my nose in a book,
Erin
