After traveling for work this week, we are now going back to MI after work today to meet family members at my parents house tomorrow to clean the garage and house- empty. Traveling pregnant so far has not been difficult but this month there is a lot of it....Wisconsin, LA, Portland and Seattle. I am really looking forward to my travels to Seattle as it's one of the most beautiful places, especially with the trees in the Fall. Oh and MI almost every weekend, which luckily is only a 4 hour drive for us. For the time being, I'm so thankful we are only 4 hours from home especially when I look back on the past two years. I would have felt even more sad and guilty had I been any further and not got to spend the quality time with Mom and Dad that I did. It still wasn't enough though.
This weekend will be difficult as many are.....just the thought of going through more of their things and being in my Dad's garage, where I was pretty much prohibited my entire life, without them being there is hard. Most people have accepted they are gone but frankly, I still can't believe it. And I know my brother and sister feel the same exact way.
I am most looking forward to next weekend where I will spend an entire weekend with family and friends as we gather for our baby celebration. Family and Friends are coming from all over...Texas, Georgia, Boston, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Florida, Virginia, California, and various parts of Michigan. Nothing makes me happier knowing I will get to see my Family and Friends under one roof. Last time we all gathered was 6 months earlier for Mom and Dad's funeral and I am still in a bit of amazement that I am pregnant, with a little girl, so soon after their death. She is definitely our faith and hope and she doesn't even know it yet.........
