Good morning, Edwarda, how is the birthday so far!? I was just teasing- everyone at DAR was wonderful and as CH says, I still have one more at home, so am not quite as bad off, but I appreciate the hug very much anyway! The one still at home is the quiet one; a lot of the chaos went with CW. It's been five weeks, and is beginning to feel more stable. I don't think I could go 67 days though as Chris has to. We go down this weekend for parents' weekend, and he'll fly home for Homecoming early Oct. I think the worst is over, but those first weeks are painful, waiting for them to walk in the door, and I know Chris does feel bereft and sad, with everything bittersweet. I still haven't cleaned the poolhouse where he lived. I pretend it's because it's just too poignant, but mostly it's because it's really a mess, and I'm too lazy.
