5 Months

Brittany, Dellany, Me, Amberly, Cassidy
November 2009
Day 219  It's been 5 months since Amberly left us and it still hurts like it was yesterday. Britt and I have decided we need counseling, because we thought we'd be "better" by now. We know that we are forever changed...that our family will never be the same again. We believe that all will be made right eventually, but we are still struggling with the here and now. I don't think Amberly knew how much she was loved, and by so many!

Momma, we miss Am so much too, and it is ok to not be ok. But it is ok to be happy as well. Don't think so much about having your wrongs made right so much that you miss out on the 'right now'. There will never be compensation for your loss. Letting yourself heal and be at peace is compensation enough. Whenever I get angry or sad about it I just think how hard this is for Am still, and if we continue to have a hard time, so will she. She just wants us to be happy. Even up until her last days, she worried about you and Dad, and everyone and how they were coping with it. It is what it is. And even the worst things in life are ok if we let them be. Love you lots, we are all here when you need us.
