16. Thank you my friend

I’m sorry for your loss. I’m going to do my best to use the wonderful memories to help with my pain. We all try to do the best that we can in any given situation, but in matters of the heart, there are no absolute formulas. The pattern in the house is broken and so this morning the tears are falling and the raw pain is pretty debilitating. I pretty much wanted to stay in bed, but other responsibilities would not allow that choice. I went to bed at 8:30 last night and cried alone and fell to sleep. I guess I fell asleep because I was pretty well exhausted from the stress of the past two weeks and the brain finally allowed that to happen. My Fitbit was showing numbers related to restlessness and sleep that were pretty scary. But last night my body just let go I guess and I did sleep thankfully. Just do your best to use the beautiful memories of your little girl, to try to mitigate the sadness and depression, I will try and do the same. But this morning, it’s still to fresh and painful and I’m not having a whole lot of success. Please take care and thank you for sharing with me. And as for doing better than you, you are doing the best you can. Can you do better? All we can do is try.
