So, my husband and I had our first anniversary a few weeks ago. Hard to believe Dad was dancing at our wedding a year ago. It seems like a long time since the whole ordeal (that’s why I haven’t updated the site)

I feel so out-of-touch with the scene… other families of fatalities. How do you cope?

My mom and I just say “Dad would do/say this or that…” about the election, about dealing with something or other.

We took my mom on vacation this year to my husband’s parents in Portugal. I had asked Dad to come in 2005. He would have loved it. We kept mentioning that.

My mom says she wants to remember the bad times as well as the good, but memories are fading.

This blog has been on the web for 9 months now. I think it has raised $20 (thank you). But really, I did it cuz I wanted someone to find it and benefit from the info of the early posts and reach out to me. Hardly anyone has. All it got (before we kicked in the spamfilter) was spam. Meso-land seems like a bot-driven world… lonely and definitely the feeling that no one else is dealing with this.

Please reach out.
