I love how you are able to understand your boys' reactions and emotions so perfectly, and realize every bit of it is completely normal. You are an amazing person, mother and wife. Of course Brian still sees and hears you. He is there.

It is so full of raw emotion and reality and so personal, that I almost felt bad reading it, but yet felt priviledged to have a glimpse of your honest thoughts and feelings. The service sounds like it was beautiful and I am so glad that God shone upon that day in so many ways as people honored Brian and the wonderful man that he was.

I really wanted to attend Brian's services this past weekend but was unable to - I am sorry. I have told you this before - you have truly touched me by sharing your life with me and so many others. I am amazed at your strength and the love and dedication you and Brian had towards each other. It has made me realize that I have a long journey to be in the place you are (spiritually) - which is scary to me. I know you have lots of people who love you and I wish I had known you better in college. I simply remember laughter - when I think of you and Brian - pure laughter. Today that makes me smile. Thank you and God bless you and your family.
