Living Through Grief

For the last little while I’ve been wanting to start a weekly series on how our family is living through grief.

We haven’t stopped living. There’s too much life left for Lance and I but especially our boys.

Starting at the beginning of January Dax started gymnastics competitions. Pre Rory’s death it was fun and all encompassing. I focused three to four months on his competitions, comparing scores and studying routines.

I have so much less energy for it.

And in all honesty, I feel bad about it.

But there’s really not much I can do. I show up. I support. I love. It’s what I can do.

To save some parental sanity, Dax is skipping Regionals this year. He’s a really good kid.

We’re so proud of how hard he works and all he has accomplished.

Here’s a little high bar from state last Saturday.
