(I was single with no kids before you think I was a terrible mom.) About nine months after she passed away, my friend and I went on a trip. As we were driving, the passenger would read those Chicken Soup for the Soul books aloud. We were either laughing or crying about the stories. during that trip, I felt like a weight had been lifted off of me. I think I had been suffering from mild depression and just didn't realize it. I'm glad you are back on track, time is a wonderful healer.<br />Kelly<br /><a href="http://fundamentalsinfirstgrade.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">I'm Not Your Grandpa, I'm Your Teacher</a> Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06877388703388130759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5999407569923340675.post-45823912958225672132014-06-19T17:54:16.289-04:002014-06-19T17:54:16.289-04:00It goes so fast, huh.

In the past 12 months I have lost 8 people close to me, including my mom, my best friends father, another best friends sister, another good friends mother and my husbands father. It is truly hard to get motivated to do anything but the mundane daily routines. You have a beautiful family, take comfort in the time you spend with them. <br />Enjoy your summer. <br />Shawna<br /><a href="http://thepicturebookteachersedition.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"><b>The Picture Book Teacher's Edition</b></a>Shawnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15919648888664240140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5999407569923340675.post-79434447558603303552014-06-13T08:46:43.616-04:002014-06-13T08:46:43.616-04:00So glad you are feeling better.
