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.

22 July 2015 (214 days after The Day)
So I enjoy doing some family history. I enjoy looking at finding and looking at my lineage. I find it fascinating. I was doing some research and realized that my wife was still listed as living. The site I use is controlled by a larger company and updates flow automatically from reported deaths. Anyway, I figured it would be updated automatically... and it wasn't. I just got thrown back to before all of this happened. It was difficult then and still difficult now. I just recall having the discussion with Jan when she was dressed in the funeral home. I talked to her about how this isn't the way it is supposed to happen. I recall it as if I was there yesterday. Raw feelings. Raw pain. Memories are amazing that they can trigger so many different emotions... emotions you may have thought to be managed.
