Yesterday was the 9 month Anniversary of Callens passing. Let me tell you it still stinks. I miss him every day. and I know these next 2 months are going to be really hard with Thanksgiving and Christmas without him. When we were home Mike and I went and visited the "Callen Tree" at a local park in Lakeville that his friends stated for him. We painted on it I painted a Tree and said that I loved him and Mike wrote "Give what you Can" and drew a Ying Yang. My friend Lauren McKinney who is awesome took some pictures of us at the park. Here is one of my favorites in front of his tree.
Miss you Callen XOXO
I found this quote today
“I am responsible.
Although I may not be able to prevent the worst from happening,
I am responsible for my attitude toward
the inevitable misfortunes that darken life.
Bad things do happen;
how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life.
I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness,
immobilized by the gravity of my loss,
or I can choose to rise from the pain
and treasure the most precious gift I have –
life itself.”
