Minus one

Today my head felt dizzy and fuzzy. If this was 4 weeks ago, I’d be 99.9% convinced I had a brain tumor, I know that’s not the case. My life is in slow motion, reliving all of these moments and memories of life with Eddie. What it was, what it was supposed to be. Even the grocery store, where I contemplated a rotissorie chicken wondering who would actually eat the legs now. I went back and forth with that damn chicken for about five minutes. People probably just thought I was crazy, but to me it was one more reminder that he was gone and my life was totally different. That chicken just raised a bunch of questions and brought up memories of dinners with it, which at the time seemed like nothing, but today I would give anything for those moments back. I finally just got the chicken because I still needed to make dinner and actually feed the kids something other than Halloween candy. Everything has changed in my life, but yet everything is still exactly how it was, minus one.

    The last line is so profound …everything AND nothing is the same simultaneously. I love the phrase “Minus One.” You are a badass Mama, you can and will lead a good life – different than what you had thought – but good 😌 even great.

    I think it is amazing and impressive all that you are able to do, but that is what Eddie and everyone who knows you adores about you: your strength. You’re very capable and many people in this world aren’t.

    I’m happy to hear the Halloween candy is being put aside. At least for the day 😂
