This morning, I knew it was your birthday before I even got out of bed. I've felt it hovering closer all month, but I had hoped it would be better this year than in other years. I seem to keep the optimism that the grief really will fade over time. Today, I had multiple alarms set, and I silenced all of them one by one....

I'm left with the photographs and memories to remember you, but it is never enough. ***deloss

When I reflect on the photographs and memories that remain of Kody, I am left feeling the emptiness of grief.

April showers bring May flowers and also the start of Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to shine the spotlight on hope in the light of mental health struggle.

Back in January, the focus was firmly on starting out the year on a new foot. You could join a gym just about anywhere for low upfront costs. Physical health is easy to advertise as the results are obvious. People can measure progress in pounds, clothing sizes, or even what they see in a mirror. [.....

It's so frustrating that when adults go missing there is so little that is done to find them. I feel so deeply for this family and hope that Johnathan is found soon.

Music and Kody weave together in my mind even now that he is gone. Kody lived in several worlds and one of these was the world of music. I remember when I first met Kody, he had an ear bud in. In high school, music was a constant for him. Passing Kody in the halls meant seeing him with his ear buds in, the flow of students around him a world apart from the one he lived in....

The leaves are changing. I noticed as I was driving home. We are back at fall. Your favorite time of the year. Pumpkins, Halloween, leaves crunching, crisp mornings, and summer dying. Which means it has now been three whole years since you left us. The world is different now in so many ways and not just because you are gone. It didn't seem possible three years ago, but the world is going on without you here....

Grief is sneaky. It gets you when you least expect it. There are moments where you feel your world is finally starting to look better and then you walk into one of the triggers of grief.

Grief sometimes finds you when you least expect it, for me it appeared when on my birthday trip to Port Gamble and Poulsbo.

In grief, it is easy to get so bogged down in the ickyness that we forget a lot of the great things that came from the person missing in our lives. Kody taught me some of the most valuable lessons of my entire life. I don't want to lose that in talking about grief, depression, and su***de. Part of embracing grief is looking at these gifts and appreciating them....
