Hello,
Welcome to this blog. I thought I would start out by saying what we have been doing since Friday. My mother and stepfather came out on Friday. After coming home and quickly removing and putting away a lot of Emily’s things we left on Saturday to “get away.” I think it was the best thing we have ever done. We went to Saratoga Springs and then to Lake Placid, NY. It was weird to be there the first week in January and see no snow. There was good shopping though and so I engaged in some retail therapy. On Sunday we went through Burlington, VT and Stow, VT (to see the Trapp Family Lodge) on our way to South Deerfield, MA where they have the Yankee Candle Factory. After seeing the sights there we went home. It was a short trip (about 1000 miles total) but I think it really helped Tony and I.
My mother and step father went home on Tuesday. Since then we have been mostly around the house doing some of the many things we had been neglecting since we were spending all of our time at the hospital.
Nothing can describe how awful it was when we lost Emily. However both of us feel like we fared well through the first wave of grief. We have been going through all of this thinking of all the good times and things that Emily did give us. I know that I will be reminded of her from time to time and I will no doubt have bad days but I have no way of predicting those and we are truly focusing on the future and what children may come our way next.

Hi Jennifer and Tony,
I was hoping that you would continue with blogging. I am glad to see that you two are dealing with things the best that you can. I don’t know how you do it, but the fact that you are able to still continue with your stories shows how strong you both are.
I am glad you are trying to look forward and that you did try to get away for a bit. So happy you have returned and are letting us know you are as well as can be. God bless you and yours always
