Today has been just one of those days for us. I think the reality of Ashure's death and all the events that have spiraled from last Friday have hit both Jason and me today. I woke-up very early this morning with a sense of dread upon me and a queasy stomach. I talked to Jason at lunch and he is feeling the same way today. I moved through our morning routine and took Ash to the dentist (no cavities - yeah!) but after I took him to daycare, I just didn't feel like doing much of anything else. It's 2:11 and I'm just sitting down for lunch and am only eating because if I don't then I know that I will feel even yuckier. I've prayed a lot today - and cried too. I remember feeling the exact same way about a week after my Mom died in November. My nerves are shot right now.
Dear God, I feel your presence and I know you are hearing my prayers. You have worked so diligently in our lives this week and You are giving us peace but today, I need a little extra dose of strength. I love you, Erica.
