Memorial Service

We are hanging in there. It's very busy as we're planning Abby's memorial service. That's a good thing. I don't want time to think about everything.

There is definitely a huge hole in our family. An Abby shaped hole that nothing else will ever quite fill.

We are all smothering Emily. She is laughing at us a little, but she almost seems to understand that we need to live in her a little extra. When it's too much, she yells at me. Love her.

All the girls went back to school today, and Jeff and I spent the day together. It was very strange. We haven't had 8 hours alone in about 3 years (seriously). We went to a movie and lunch. I still felt like I needed to rush home. I always have that feeling of needing to do something, and when it's not there, I only feel pain in my chest.

I did have peace today and for just a few minutes, could think of her in heaven. I'm so thankful she's there, but thinking about that too much reminds me she's not here. It's a lot to process.

Abby's service will be:
Saturday, September 15, 2012 at 2:00pm.
Grace Community Church
643 West Lee St., Geensboro, NC 27403

Abby loved color, so we ask that if you are able to attend, you wear your favorite color too. A sea of color will make her smile.
