I'll be honest, I haven't really wanted to write lately. It isn't that there hasn't been anything going on...quite the contrary. Rather, it's the fact that life has just been rough right now, and I'm not entirely sure I want to really remember the last few weeks. I want this blog to be uplifting, and lately life just hasn't felt that way.
Monday evening we attended the funeral visitation for Grace. Honestly, it was one of the worst things I have ever experienced. I was such a blubbering idiot through the line. Strangely enough, Catherine never cried...not one tear. However, she was an absolutely awful person to be around. I think her emotions came out through anger, not through tears. I on the other hand, have shed plenty of tears.
We are also finding that parenting a teenager is tough. I mean, REALLY tough. There seems to be nothing I can say or do to make him respond with anything other than a grunt...although I do suppose I get the occasional whine out of him. I've tried talking to him, I've tried hugging him, I just don't know what to do anymore. I suppose on the upside that at least things seem to be going okay between Robert and my husband, so he hasn't completely cut off the lines of communication.
I just can't believe that December is upon us already, but I'm looking forward to hopefully sharing some lovely days together as a family! I think we need it right about now.
