I find myself wanting to do preschooler things - it is like a life interrupted - but it is getting harder and harder to imagine what Catherine would have been into now. I remember my friend explaining this phenomena to me - it took a lot while for me to really grasp it on my own. She thinks it is like, your head is wired through pregnancy and childbirth etc to be focused on raising an x-old - and then when they suddenly are gone - your subconscious can't quite accept it - and is always looking for them. It makes sense to me as an explanation - but it is so sad, I don't want to believe it.<br /><br />About the lunch - when we were newly bereaved, John and I would make ourselves go out for posh dinners. We were convinced it would help. So we would sit there in expensive restaurants, holding hands and tearful. On the odd occasion, I would find it too much, and walk outside - and he would pay the bill and follow. I reckon we always looked like a divorcing couple. At least you and Ted only look tired and disinterested! :)<br /><br />Big hug to you - you are doing so well xxSusan Irelandnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-823549861851853736.post-33706681856409288222012-06-12T08:29:17.240-07:002012-06-12T08:29:17.240-07:00I am glad that this outing to Lake Shrine for you ...I am glad that this outing to Lake Shrine for you and Ted was a overall positive although emotional experience...I know it took a lot of will/courage to go.Stefanielkinsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-823549861851853736.post-23183475077710540382012-06-11T09:19:14.513-07:002012-06-11T09:19:14.513-07:00Maxie should be there with you to experience all t...Maxie should be there with you to experience all these things. It's not fair. He should be there with you...at the lake, at lunch, everywhere. <br /><br />I will say this, if you DO move to Topanga Canyon, Ted's beard will feel instantly at home and should quickly make friends with many similar beards in the same area.gregnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-823549861851853736.post-45304270239940658532012-06-11T08:37:58.455-07:002012-06-11T08:37:58.455-07:00Beautiful Pictures.
