It was awesome and sad all at the same time. It's something I had been looking forward to doing for Elliot. I just never thought I'd be doing it alone.
It's been 6 weeks since this all started. People have been asking me "How are you guys doing?" And I answer with "We're OK. But OK is a completely relative term." It's obviously hard to explain how I feel at any given moment. We'll be leaving for a road trip to Indiana on Sunday morning and as it draws closer, there's just a constant reminder that Jennifer wont be on the trip with us. As I make plans for what to bring on the trip, I realize that I have never had to worry about packing for the girls because she always did that. I spent about making Bingo gameboards for the girls this evening. That was fun. I visited Michael's, Dollar Tree and Target gathering some other car activities. And all the while, I'm wondering, "What would Jennifer have come up with to keep the girls entertained?"
There's a song I like called Bittersweet Symphony. One of the lyrics goes "But I'm a million different people from one day to the next". I can't think of any better explanation of how I feel.

The quote is perfect. The post moving.
Even though we're on the road, in the middle of a move, you're on my mind often. We haven't forgotten about you.
Your ideas for travel are better than any I've came up with. You're doing great.
