It's Spring!

To The Man In The Moon


Dear Dad,

Happy Easter! For Easter we ended up getting together with Josh, Vicky, Lauren, Wyatt, Stephanie and her two boys, Kristen, Joe and their 3 kids, Bill, Susan, Brian, Tracy and their boy, Jennie, Ray, and Vicky;s parents. We had a great time. It was so much fun to watch the kids hunt for Easter eggs. It was nice to catch up with everyone. Jennie and Ray are having a baby, which is so great! And she is due around October 9th. So we will have another little Libra! I can only imagine how happy Rich would be. Part of me is hoping its a little boy so that they might consider naming him after Rich. After eating with my side of the family, we all went over to Judy's and had dinner with her, and a little egg hunt for Liam. We did most of the hunting but it was still wonderful! We had a lot of fun.

 Liam had his appointment with Special Care Clinic at Children's Mercy. He weighs 10lbs 12 oz and is almost 22 inches long. He is doing really well. We are working on his right arm and leg stretches that the Physical Therapist suggested and has been working on with him. They are going to make once a month visits to check his progress. I think he will do just fine with the therapy. Tomorrow is his appointment with the Cardiologist and I am very hopeful and still a little worried. I just want him to be okay. I will let you know more soon :)
 
We took pictures Sunday at Portrait Innovations. We had Dustin's mom, Judy, Mom, and Dustin's dad, Bob, with us and it was a lot of fun. I wished they worked with Liam a little more to get some more pictures and I would have like to get some of just me and the mom's with Liam and then Dustin and his Dad with him but oh well. They turned out fantastic and I am so happy!

Liam also got to go to his first Baseball Game! The Royals beat the Twins! Woo hoo! He had a great time, we signed him up for the Blue Crew and bought him  a little Slugger doll. It's too cute! He loved the fireworks and watched the whole thing in amazement. It was the coolest thing to watch. I loved his expressions and the way his little face lit up. It was soo cool!

Well I would like to write more but Liam is up and ready to play. I miss you so much and wish that you could be here to share in all the wonderful holidays, and games. You should just see how much Liam loves Grandma. You and mom would have been the most amazing Grandparents together. I can tell she misses you so much. We all do. Love you Grandpa ;) 

Sincerely ,

Sondra

Here Comes 40

 To The Man In The Moon - October is here, it’s a full moon tonight and it’s bringing with it the crisp autumn air, my favorite holiday and another birthday. This year I turn 40. I know it’s nothing like I pictured it to be so far. But given my state from my last birthday to this one it’s really hard to complain. I’ve lost and gained a lot in a year. Rivaling only my transition into my 30’s when I got married and had my son. It’s a heavy thing but one I hope I can carry gracefully.  40 brings many new changes. I am trying to be healthier mentally and physically. I am more focused on enjoying every moment and making the best of everyday. Trying to let go of the worry and doubt that has gotten me no closer to the happiness I have been chasing for far too long. Separated and met a man. Could be the man of my dreams... Today I booked a trip to Denver. My first momcation. Other than the lonely nights I spent in the hospital which qualifies only as torture. But I am jumping in, with...

To The Man In The Moon - Thinking about the truth and not romanticizing what has happened is hard. It isn't like what we have isn't wonderful or that it's not true. Because I know there is a lot of love and specialness to what we found and have together. But there is a lot of things that happened, a lot of truth lost in the messiness that got blurred. And while it would be more convenient to ignore and forget all that, I am seeing how those lies have been the cracks in the walls I built to keep myself together.  When I fell for him, it's been all him for me. And I tried each and everyday to love him with everything I am. I questioned myself and him that this is what we wanted and that we felt the same. He says all these things about how it's me and it will always be me. But when I sit and think...it wasn't. Leaving Denver I was unsure he would want to continue it. I had prepared myself to say goodbye because he was still in love with and choosing to be with Ashl...

Beginning to Heal

To My Man in the Moon Dad, The beginning is the hardest. It seems like the end would be the hardest and the beginning the easiest, but I know better. It's finding the commitment and the strength to commit to something and following through with it that's the hard part. So here we go. Trying to find the right words and where to begin. So I'll start with telling you something easy, I miss you. We all miss you. There are so many things I want to say. There is so much time that has passed. I am no longer that little innocent girl. I can barely remember being 9. Luckily the good times come more easily than the hard ones through there are more than a few. Last year was a big one for me, getting married, having a baby, and it really brought a lot of emotion out of me. Reuniting with Debbie and then Mike after Grandma Myrtle died has been a HUGE blessing in my life, and moms. Having them at my wedding was the best blessing I could ask for! It was beautiful and Debbie even ...
