Grief. It comes in waves. It’s been 11 weeks since my husband died of a brain aneurysm. Life isn’t always pretty. But I’m grateful to have had the life I have lived. And I still have hope for the life yet to come. I just miss my best friend. He was special. Much love, Leah 💗

4 years ago… the worst day of my life. The doorbell rang… I answered it thinking it was you coming back from your mountain bike ride hours late. I was about to scold you half jokingly for being so late and for not calling me all day, which was so unusual for you. Little did I

My son has been very sick for the last 5 days. He’s seen a doctor. Aside from the 2 hours a day his father comes to see him, I’ve had no help. I love living here, but I have no family here. Most of my family lives 5000 kms away. These are the moments when you miss family most. ❤️.
