Life is short!!

I'm going to try and do this post--I haven't felt like doing much since we returned from Minnesota. Life seems so fragile, so short. Roy's death and funeral has hit me hard--harder than I ever imagined (those damn bells). I've seen a side of Doyle that I never imagined (even through the death of his Dad). He is sad, depressed, and has cried more in the last couple of weeks than in all our married life. I'm sad for him, I can't imagine losing one of my brothers or sisters. And that opens another whole can of worms--I need to be a better sister to all my siblings. I get so wrapped up in my life that I seem to forget my "original" family. That's something I need to work on!!! Right now, life is sad, but I'm hoping we can get past this. Roy is in a better place, we both know this, but yet we are sad that he's not "here" anymore. That's selfish on our part--we can't expect to keep him here (in pain and suffering) for us. Time will heal our wounds, but it will take time.
