The last couple of months have been good, while still a bit of a challenge at times. Mike's birthday was on September 3, and our 14th anniversary was on October 13. Both days were hard for me. I didn't mention our anniversary and appreciate those of you who knew but didn't say anything. Days like that, I just wanted to internalize it and keep it private. With that said, I got through them just fine.
I'm struggling a little bit with the upcoming holidays. Mike got sick and was admitted to the hospital on December 13, and over those next 6 weeks all the holidays flew by while I was in a fog and have almost no memory of. Thanksgiving is going to be really difficult because it was our favorite holiday, and Mike always went all-out to cook us the best Thanksgiving dinners. I don't know if I want to deal with that this year. Christmas will be hard in a different way. This will technically be our second Christmas without Mike, although he was still alive during. Austin will be spending that time in California with his dad, but I'm a little bit nervous about having Jack here and trying to make it the best holiday season possible for him. If it were just Jeramy and me, we would go up to his place off the grid and ignore the world around us for a couple of weeks, but we can't do that with Jack and need to make some special memories with him.
Our lives are moving forward otherwise, and time is flying. We're all doing our best to pick up all the pieces and move on in Mike's honor.
