I don't even know how it got so late....
Anyways, today was a busy day....not so much on a productive side of things for The Love, Elijah Project, but just a busy family day.
I woke up just in time to bring Alex to school....then I went to see the place I am going to be renting for our new Art Therapy Room.
It is a little smaller than I thought it was in my head, but the price is perfect and the location is really not bad either. It has tons of potential and I am actually quite excited about it! I think we are going to bring a lot of comfort and hope to some special mothers and fathers of "angels."
I had to keep Julien home from school today (everything is okay...please no worries), and after I got back from the showing, I brought him and Gabriel to the library because we had books to return and we didn't go Tuesday--Tuesday is our library day.
We ended up checking out at least 15 books lol, and a music CD.
I think we are going to alternate weekly on our media choices. One week a audio book. One week a music CD.
This week's choice was a "They Might Be Giants" CD and the kids have already fallen in love.
Anyways, then there was just lots of little errands to run.
And I was so excited to get 2 t-shirt orders today, plus we had an angel bracelet we had to send out today.
Julien helped me type out a thank you note on etsy and helped me bring the letter to the mailbox.
In fact tomorrow he wants to write letters to family members just so he can learn how to address an envelope, which is really awesome!
I LOVE snail mail. I love placing things in the mail box. I'm glad he is going to enjoy it too.
He really enjoyed his time with me today and I was happy to have him at home too.
Then the kids had MMA and Gabriel surprised me by actively participating for a long time today! Usually I want to pull my hair out because he is a space cadet within 2 minutes of line up and then just gives up after that. So today was an amazing day for Gabriel in his karate class!
Now I only have 2 more days left to me and Alex's Patty-Cake-Athon, and I am not sure why, but I am super nervous lol.
I guess there is really nothing to be nervous about, it's not really a big thing....but then again it is a HUGE thing.
I just hope we spread a little bit of awareness, and maybe make some change.
That is all I am trying to do...make a difference for Elijah.
I miss him so much.
Well, I better get some sleep...
As my number of blog readers steadily declines, I want to sincerely thank those of you who read my blogs on a regular basis. It means the world to me that I have your support and that you care. I just thought you should know that. I don't do these blogs for recognition, they are more for me to journal my "grief journey" and I always speak to Elijah in them. So...thank you for sharing that with me. It is really special. <3
Hi sweet boy.
I love you so much and miss you so much.
We are working hard to do great things in your name--your dad and I both.
We hate that you are not here with us, but we promise before we join you, the world will know how much we love you and how important you are!
I am still working on changing the world for you---we will get there my boogie, you and I--I promise <3
I love you Elijah. Goodnight.
