Memories

[Molly Decker]

I just watched Liam Neeson talk about grief being like a wave that hits him, or like a 3 legged table that makes him feel wobbly and unstable.  On Mondays, I drop Sam off at tennis-I think of Stephanie as I watch him run into the bubble.  He's a nice little player, a great little basketball player also.  I think of how much she suffered to be able to do things with Sam/for Sam.  it's a great reminder of how we take the little things in life for granted.  I always try to talk about what a lovely player she was if the opportunity presents itself.  I know she wouldn't want him to be sad.  Sam and I usually have dinner together, he is such a great kid.  Sometimes, the wave will hit-and, you feel wobbly like a 3 legged table, but you try to be there for her boy.

Sometimes moving forward sounds so great but, it's not so easy.
