Smudging The Window

To Arrive
Now This Window
Will Stay This Way
Forever
We were talking earlier in the week about how coming home is so different without their excitement and energy to welcome us home. Now, without them in our lives, we suddenly treasure the little things that they leave behind...for instance, smudges on windows. You're not alone in wanting to preserve those memories forever.
Join us today if you'd like to share and be around others who understand this loss.
If you can't, share a memory of them with someone you love.
Weekly Journaling Prompt
What was your routine like coming home from work and throughout in the evenings? Did you go for a walk? Were they excited to see you if you had been gone a while? Spend a few minutes today and relive a typical day in your life together. Then write about how you feel.
