Video of Sarah's Car Crash

For the last week or so, I have found myself craving more information on that night. I wondered what the car looked like before the crash and morbidly I wondered what it looked like after the crash too. I kept telling myself to dismiss those thoughts but I kept thinking that if she had to go through it, the least I could do is bring myself to look at it.

Images of what her last moments must have been like constantly flash through my mind every time I blink for too long or when I am lying in bed at night before I fall asleep. Now at least I know for myself what really happened.

It's not enough to say that I miss her every day. It's the holiday season and I find myself looking forward to seeing her again at Christmas and thinking about what I might get her for a gift. The last time we saw eachother was on Christmas last year and I just can't seem to make myself want to celebrate it this year. Like somehow if it's been less than a year since I've seen her she's not so far away. But if I actually go to my grandma's house for Christmas like we did last year, and sit there where we sat together last year, it somehow makes it all real and permanent.

I really worry for my mom. She's taking it real hard. Life has not been good to her in a lot of ways and she's not treating herself very well recently. It's hard for me to talk to her because the conversation always turns to Sarah and then I have to face that she's gone.

When my dad died I was devestated but for some reason Sarah's death is affecting me much more. I'm not sure why but I think it has to do with the fact that my dad was old and so he was going to die during my lifetime anyway but Sarah should have gone to MY funeral 50 years from now, not the other way around.

I'm so sorry- if you ever need to talk- really I'm always here! Or even just a hug- you have a lot of weight on your shoulders right now- I'm so sorry! But know that I am thinking of you ;)! I hope your thanksgiving was good and you gave that little baby of yours some yummy grub!

I am so sorry Jenn. I wish there were words that could ease your pain, even in some small way. But I know there are none. I miss you and I love you.

HIJACK

This post is not coming to you VIA Jennifer. This is her husband, Erik. I decided to hijack her blog (ah...the things you can do when in possession of another's password) and tell her how I feel about her. This will probably not be posted for long, I am sure as soon as she sees it she will remove it. HERE GOES! Jennifer, my dear, I love you oh so very much. On Monday is our 1 year anniversary! A whole year! That may not seem like much, but my oh my it has flown by quickly. Since you are a relative young'un that year actually represents around 4.76% of your entire lifespan(thus far). I still keep my eye out for things that represent 'US'. Who can forget the 'EJ' Truck? I have never stopped looking for, nor noting 28s as they pop up all over the place. I notice all of the little things you do. I notice the little faces you make. I notice the little noises you make. I notice the slight shifting of your posture in response to my incessant joking. This face was made...

One Month Old

Tyler turned one month old on Friday! He has grown and changed a lot just in the last couple of weeks. It is so much fun to watch him now that he is smiling and holding his head all the way up and clasping his hands together--interlaced as if in prayer. He is the cutest baby (ok, so I'm biased). We've had a hard week though (make that almost two weeks--I've been trying to publish this post for 5 days). The other day he screamed for almost 24 hours straight. Luckily Jaime came over to show me how to help relieve his gas and he calmed down for a couple of hours. He has been up all night, up all day and just kind of hard to deal with. Of course I still love him, which is weird. Usually its hard to love someone who deprives you of sleep. :) Update: Like I said, I have been trying to publish this for almost a week--I have had literally no time between work and a screaming baby and laundry and dishes and cooking and cleaning but alas I think I now have 5 minutes! Anyway, Ty...
