My constant reminder

Life is going great. I realize I don't blog like I use to. I think about people that have contacted me that read my blog and may be wanting updates. I started this blog as an online journal, a way to journal my feelings and my journey but to do it publicly so that others could see they're not alone in their feelings.

My family keeps me going. My kids keep us busy. I spend a lot of time with my mom. If I was alone, I don't know that I'd be where I am now.

My sons remind me so much of Stephen. It's nice to have that reminder. Although, my oldest son has all of the traits of Stephen that irritated me the most! But it's still nice to be reminded of him.

Here is a picture of Stephen on the left and my son Trey on the right. Do you see the resemblance like I do?


I think the resemblance is uncanny. Anyway, time still moves really weird for me. Time goes by and doesn't seem like it's been as long as it has. My mom has been able to quit going to Grief Share. That's a good sign for her. She is so strong. My dad and step-mom still do presentations and do a lot with MADD. They are such inspirations. Stephen would be so proud.

I miss him, but it has gotten easier. It really feels like it hasn't been that long since I have talked to him. I remember it like yesterday. I know I will see him again and that makes me happy.
