breakthrough

Dear Brian,

Tonight, I had a breakthrough. I did something I have not yet felt comfortable doing without you.

I watched some of our favorite TV comedies on DVR (from March) on your my 60 inch big screen in the basement. I have not watched TV in the basement on your my TV since your death.

And you know what? It didn't totally suck. I barely even cried.

That's a small breakthrough, right?

I miss you terribly, Brian. I love you.

KEEP BELIEVING

Hi Angie,
I am very happy for your breakthrough,
they are never measured by size, but celebrated
for what they stand for. God's love helping you out.
Sending you and the boys a bouquet of hugs
Love Marjo

Go, baby, go! I think he'd be proud of you for watching that huge tv, and laughing and crying through some of your favorite shows. Thinking of you.

Keep on making those little steps into life, Sweetie!! A big screen isn't happiness--a life is, but Brian's with Jesus now, and you are still here. Baby little steps--you're an amazing woman, no matter what you think sometimes.

I think the only way to keep going is one step at a time. You are doing it. It may not feel like it, but you are. And He gives us enough grace for each new step. Thank GOd!

baby steps... one after another. It's okay to sit down in between and rest.

Sounds like a 60" size step to me. I'm POSITIVE Brian would WANT you to watch that t.v.
