today

When I started this blog I wasn't sure where it would lead me, or if I would be able to truly let everyone into what is really going on. I use this blog as an outlet of sorts to give me something to look forward to on a daily basis, to be excited to share something or if I just need to get something off my chest. Well today, it is unavoidable....
A year...it's been the longest year of my life, but yet an entire blur realizing I have seemingly lost an entire year with little to no recognition of where it went.
A year and three months ago my life came crashing down, since the last time I saw my love, and a year since I was told I would never see him here on this earth again.

I still have days where I question if this is real, days when I turn the corner and feel like he will be sitting there, days where I wake up expecting him to be laying next to me.
But this is real, and I miss Greg even more as every day passes.
But I know I am luckier than most. I have experienced/felt true love and I would never give back those years of Greg in my life to erase the pain I am feeling now. So today I am going to the beach, the place that makes me feel so close to him.

"I carry your heart with me, (I carry it in my heart). I am never without it, anywhere I go, you go my dear…”

it was an exhausting week and was happily welcoming the beach when I got back home

slacker

I've been a total slacker with my posts. Was in NYC all last week for work and didn't have any energy left at the end of the work days. Details of the trip to come. in the meantime....

remembering 9/11

 I recently posted this image, but I felt it fitting today. In NYC this week for work, and it's a crazy feeling to be here seeing/hearing the reaction to the news America received today.
