Checking In

It's been a while since I've posted. It's been busy. Life is still moving steadily along on my journey. In three weeks, it will be a year since I have started. I must admit its been a bit odd living in a world without my parents. I still remember my father coming home early from work the day his mother died several years after his father died and declaring himself an orphan as he melted into tears. A year after the fact, that concept still seeps into my psyche. I know that I'm an adult and didn't "need" my parents but it was still nice to be able to call mom and update with her and ask for advice. At the risk of sounding lame, her death gave me life. I didn't want it for her but it came for her anyway. Because of this, I made the committment to begin this journey. My only regret about it is that she didn't get to see the progress.

I still miss them both but I've continued life. This is what they wanted for me. This is how I will remember them. October 30 is now 22 days away.
