Sorry.

Things have been really busy and plus also I suck at blogging.

But I have been doing other worthwhile things with my time. So that makes me feel better.
Anyway. Here ya go. April and May still standing links.

Oh and also this is super cool. And I got to be a part of it. Which makes it even cooler.
And you can buy it now. And I think you should.

Speaking of links

Here's this.

Motherload of resources

So I was contacted a couple of weeks ago by a wonderful woman named Rebecca who wanted to list my blog in an article highlighting online resources for grief and loss. How cool, right?
I was happy to help! So I was excited to see the list when the article was posted. Holy crap. It really is a super comprehensive guide to available resources such as websites, blogs, organizations - you name it. Even cooler, she's broken the links (all 115 of them) into categories that make it super easy to navigate all of that information. Enough of my rambling, here it is!

Reasons I Cry

I cry a lot. I cry when I'm happy, sad, angry, and afraid.
I cry a lot for her. For a host of reasons. And I've decided to start documenting those reasons.

Today I cried at work. I cried because I am sad that I didn't unwrap her. Although I looked at her fingers and toes, like most parents, I didn't look at her whole body. And I wish I could go back in time just to see all of her. I'd do everything over again, just for that.

I thought of that today randomly while sitting at my desk. That's grief. It's random. And it's an asshole.

Still Standing

Forgot to post this. Life has been crazy.

Dude, February...

How the hell did you get here?
Please be kind. And gentle if you can.


I'll try not to blink. And maybe write some more.
