2 Months Since August 20th
Yesterday marked the 2-month anniversary of Rosie's death. There were a few tears. Megumi and I are both missing Rosie, and still trying to come to terms with what happened. After speaking to some of my family last weekend, I know we are not the only ones struggling to deal with the situation.
Our friends are being really kind, and we keep getting invited out to various places. To be honest, we often don't really feel like going to a noisy bar and drinking a skinful of booze, so if you do ask us to do something, if it's drinking, please be prepared to accept a polite refusal!
I still haven't put up any vacation photos yet - I'll probably do it at the weekend.

As a recipient of one of those polite refusals, let me tell you that you guys have NOTHING to apologize for, and to do anything other than work back into things are your own pace would be silly. Your friends understand, Gary & Meg.

Posted by: Chris at October 21, 2004 12:55 PMThat's a beautiful photo of Rosie (with the hydrangea - not footie kit). These past two months and the month preceding have been long and tough for you both. It has been hard here too but I know that I gain comfort from the stoical, strong way in which the two of you are dealing with your loss. I know you are getting through each day because you have no choice and you are doing so well, for you and for Rosie - I am proud of you.
love to you both
