LIfe in Watkinsville
The kids are doing well! They are growing so fast, I can't seem to keep up with their growth spurts! Magnus is doing well in school, despite his diagnoses of Asperger's Syndrome in August. He is doing really well with his therapy (OT and behavior) and I learn new things each week to help him and you can see a change in him for the better. Max is doing awesome in school, he is exceling in Math (Dan would be so proud)! Maddy talks so much and looks like Dan, she is constantly trying to make someone laugh or make them "all better" when something is wrong. Malynda is 6mths old now and still on the small side, but her seizures are finally under control which is a great relief. She just started solid foods and loves them. She also looks like her daddy, so he got his way....all his girls look like him!! As I watch my 4 little one's grow up I can see Dan alive in them and although Magnus, Maddy and Malynda won't remember him he is still in them so much. The little things they do or say is just like him. Magnus lives to make people laugh and it drives me crazy but that is Dan coming out in him and I feel so blessed for that.

Despite what some may be feeling or thinking about me I love Dan even in death and I will always love him! Yes I have remarried, and life will continue for us all. Dan would not want me to curl up and give up in his absense. In the absense of Monica's dad he stepped up to the plate and treated her as his own and he would feel blessed that someone is willing to do that in his absense. There is not a day that his name isn't mentioned in my home, there are pictures of him all over the house and not to mention his ashes on the mantel that bring us peace in our darkest hours. I still cry for him daily and I don't know if that will ever stop. I loved him deeply, he was my best friend!
