So that’s that. Where do I send these now? To remove you from my Rogers My-5 would be to admit you’re gone.
2013-04-08 10:34 AM
Joey is running around trying to find you. Your house still smells like you.
2013-04-11 6:34 PM
You would love this little guy. He would love you. Not fair.

That’s my generous two-week allotment of bereavement time used up. How to go back to normal?
2013-04-13 7:33 AM
How can you be HERE, then not here? Where did you go?
2013-04-16 10:33 AM
E says he’s going to text me the photos he can’t text you. Whatever. I’ll forward. He’s not interested in my texts of dogs.

Where on earth did you hide your safety deposit key?
2013-04-17 1:47 PM
Arrived safe in Rome. Not sure I should have gone away so soon.
2013-04-18 3:47 AM
Can’t sleep. I’m missing you. Feel crazy. Should not have come alone.

Just a year ago that we were here in Italy together. Why didn’t I realize this would be hard, coming back?
2013-04-22 11:52 PM
Home safe. My first time home since you died. Boys happy to see me.
2013-04-28 5:22 PM
You got your wish: Hair chopped short. PS: Has Joey has had his shots? Tx.
2013-05-05 8:55 AM
T’s birthday. Keep expecting you to call and say HAPPY BIRTHDAY T-DOG. He’s sad too.
2013-05-07 1:38 PM
Sage 13 today. The old boy can still swim. I’ve told him he can’t join you, not yet. Can’t take it.
2013-05-12 7:17 PM
Joey’s really settled in.
2013-05-12 7:17 PM
Every day I think of some reason to call, and can’t. So hard. When does this stop? Does this stop?
2013-05-14 8:15 AM
Baking powder or baking soda in Nana’s scone recipe? Can’t read your writing.
2013-05-17 12:48 PM
Garden planted! Cue the weeds.
2013-05-19 6:39 PM
Landed safely in Paris. xox
2013-05-23 5:22 PM
We had what, three Paris trips together, you and I? I see you everywhere.
2013-05-26 11:44 AM
First sunny morning in Bourgogne ! You would love this. So beautiful.
2013-05-29 2:15 PM
Rain and Brrrrrrrr.
2013-06-03 4:31 PM
Lyon is gorgeous, but my meeting is tough. Not enough news. I’m missing you. Missing home.
2013-06-16 11:12 PM
Goodbye mum. I hope we did you proud. It was quite a party and I said what I wanted to say, and I didn’t cry saying it. We should have done this when you could come. Everyone loves you so much.
2013-06-20 3:19 PM
Landed safely in Chicago. xox. Overcast but HOT.
2013-06-23 9:23 PM
Sad and homesick.

2013-07-30 2:05 PM
I know you worried about all my flying. Weird silver lining of you being gone is that I feel less stressed about stressing you out. We’ve landed safe and sound in Edinburgh.
2013-08-07 10:05 AM
Joey loving cabin-time. Sage really slowing down. Doesn’t want to swim. I know you’d like company, wherever you are. Can you find Murphy (R.I.P.)? Don’t take Sage. Not yet.
2013-08-27 4:59 PM
All your clothes and personal things packed up. I’ve kept everything I think you’d want me to keep. Very sad job. All these bags. I’m sorry.
2013-08-29 6:29 PM
Safe and sound in Amsterdam. I always think these trips will help, getting away, but instead they just highlight away-ness, in all its forms.
2013-09-04 11:58 PM
Home sweet home. I’m tired. Sad.
2013-09-22 8:22 PM
Safely arrived in Barcelona. Remember La Cervaseria in 2009? Still delicious! I miss you.
2013-09-28 11:07 PM
Chris and Kristin’s wedding was fun. I love London, because I know you did too. Remember stumbling accidentally across Burough Mrkt? Like it had been hiding from us all along.
2013-10-11 2:37 PM
I’m going to have to stop it with this. The texting. Need to find a way to stop.
2013-12-01 9:33 AM
Dec 1 = first day for Handel’s Messiah. How can I NOT tell you this?
2013-12-19 11:12 PM
Did we ever go to the Messiah LIVE together? I can’t remember and it’s killing me. Two women sitting beside me were giggling and TEXTING for the whole first section. I finally hissed: PLEASE STOP. And they did. Channeling you. 🙂
2013-12-21 6:05 AM
Can’t sleep. Lying here wondering if Christmas will ever feel the same again? Damn we were good at Christmas, you and I.
2013-12-27 12:21 PM
Happy Birthday Mum. You are the best. Always will be. xoxox
