From Monday through Wednesday, Robert, Meghan and I shared our time joyfully. We hunted for seashells and found plenty (some for our bucket, some for our bathing suits). We watched the sunset. We played on playgrounds. We had picnics in our hotel room. We played games. We laughed a lot, especially when I got tickled by throwing my money at the Toll basket. We visited the Glazer Children's Museum. Most of all, we were gentle with ourselves and each other. 

The biggest lessons I've learned through this, is that there is no right way to grieve and to live fully in every moment. The pain of losing our child will never pass, but through it we can grasp onto moments of happiness wherever we can. 

Thank you all for your prayers, calls, emails, Facebook messages, and cards. It means so much to us to have you all lifting us up.
