This picture is dark. I could lighten it but I don't want to change a thing.

My mother in law's funeral was today. No, I was not there. I am here at home in the US with my son. My husband is in the UK with our daughter for the funeral. For many reasons this was the best thing for us but today it was pretty hard not to be there.
Just like on the day she died we are in the middle of a blizzard. The snow is wet and heavy, the sky is the color of cement. I have done very little today and I am exhausted. I have so many things I should have done and yet I accomplished nothing. Perhaps sitting here on the couch with my dog's head in my lap while I watch snowflakes the size of golf balls fall out of the sky is exactly the right thing to do on a day like today.
