Next week marks the official start of fall. If you feel at all the way I do, this tiring, hot, emotional summer cannot be over soon enough. I look forward to a fresh autumn breeze and temperatures dropping below 100 degrees.
Lucky for me, I was able to wrap up the summer with a nice long vacation in Alaska followed by a week-long trip to Michigan with Dave visiting his family. His brother got married last weekend, which was a bittersweet day for me. Dave's family is so welcoming and loving - he has two brothers and a sister, and very nice parents. I couldn't help but feel a bit lonely and terribly sad, but very happy for Dave's brother at the same time. I miss my brother immensely. When my mom and I talk about it, we know the best thing for us to do to honor Brenan is keep living, keep smiling, keep remembering all the good times, and try not to be sad. But we can't help but feel the reality of the situation sink in a bit deeper as each day passes.
Right now, my godmother and our family's long time friend and neighbor from Minnesota, Renie, is here visiting. She is so much fun to be around and we are excited to spend this week with her.
