January 2011 Six Pix

I've been putting off Six Pix for this particular month.  For a very particular reason. 
I'm still...STILL...dealing with the Morgan's death.  It doesn't get easier.  I still cry sometimes when I think about it.  I still miss him horribly.  He was a part of my life for 10 years and that doesn't just go away.

I can finally look at these pictures and atleast not completely lose it.  I thought for months about deleting all of them.  I felt like they were sort of morbid pictures.  I've since come to my senses and realized that they provide a sense of closure for me.

This was Jayna's final goodbye to Moe on January 7th.  She didn't understand, of course.  She asked where he was as soon as she got home from school.  She still asks about him from time to time and tells random people at random times that he "went to a better place where he can fly." :)

After I dropped Jayna off at school that morning, I came home before taking Moe to the vet and finished crocheting this cowl.  I had to occupy my mind for the 2 hours before his appointment.  It is my favorite thing that I've crocheted to date.  This one was for KT, but I'll be making myself one this winter.

This is the last photo that was taken of me and my first child.  I love you, Captain Morgan.

Chris, Ollie and Moe.  Family is who you make it.

The very next day, January 8th, was my stepdad, Roger's, retirement party.  We surprised him...and it worked!!!  He had NO idea! 

This is my sister-in-law, Summer, drinking 2 bottles of champagne.  This picture just makes me laugh.

What did YOU do in January??
