Hello everyone,

I've had the link to Mom's celebration service for a little over a week now, but couldn't bring myself to post it here. I honestly couldn't bring myself to write this post. (You can watch the service here. Fun fact--Mom got to sing at her own funeral. She was in the choir recordings we used. 🤣❤️)

Last week was so very hard and so very long. Grief is so strange and definitely not linear. It's this strange and never ending roller coaster that I so wish I could leave. Thank you to every single person, family, group, and friend that reached out to us. Please know that if we don't answer it isn't personal. We are trying to adjust, trying to figure out some way to do the next right thing. We appreciate you all, more than you could ever know or realize.

If you know me well enough, you know Disney is an obsession of mine. It was an obsession of Mom's too. Something special that we shared. There's a song that has kept coming to mind--two really--one from the movie Frozen II ("The Next Right Thing") and one from Mary Poppins Returns ("The Place Where Lost Things Go"). These songs are on repeat in my head. 

This past week when I dream, I find her there. Missing her, I see her inside of me and my girls. She's smiling from a star, watching us grow. Always there in the place where lost things go...

You can click on the song titles above to hear them if you choose. The lyrics to "The Place Where Lost Things Go" is below too. Love and hugs to you all.
