We're still awfully lonely around here. The grief comes in waves, though, and tonight was a doozy. It just hits sometimes. That sickening empty feeling that I could only imagine before is now very, very real. We wish she would come back to us, but we don't wish for the circumstances that would make that have to happen. I am going through the motions at work. Seems I'm getting the bare minimum done. The last couple of days have been a bit of a whirlwind, what with getting all of our finances - finally - in order to buy this house. Final walk-though on the house tomorrow. Close on Thursday. Very exciting. Very unreal.
