From the birth of my fourth child until today. This gives a glimpse into my life that is filled with joy, sadness, pure happiness, and devastating grief... in other words... it is real.

04 April 2015 (105 days after The Day)
Today was a bit calmer than most Saturdays. I took Ammon to Tae Kwon Do. Took the kids to hunt Easter eggs with the neighbor. Watched a church conference on TV and that was about it. Claire is having a tough time going to sleep tonight and I am spent mentally. I don't know what triggered me today but I just really really miss Jan. I'm struggling more than normal and I am just wanting this struggle to end. I suppose it is the culmination of a lot of pain but regardless this is a rough place to be. I snapped at my kids tonight over the smallest things. That led to them snapping at each other more than they normally do. I sent everyone to bed. After they were in bed I went and I apologized. That helped everyone feel a bit better. I find myself exhausted these days. I don't know why. I'm off to check on all the kids and go to sleep myself.
