I have been contemplating what to do with this blog now that Dan has passed. It always seems so abrupt when the last post is someones death, because as we all know, the journey doesn't end there. While Dan is no longer physically on this earth, his spirit and memories continue to live on in all of us. And I believe that we will continue to see Dan's influence interlaced through the remainder of our lives. The title of our blog is Our Life….Interrupted, and it is still interrupted. Selfishly, as part of my own healing, I am going to keep this blog going for at least the next year. I can't say how often I will post, but I feel it's important to record this new interruption. Please feel free to continue to follow along in the journey with us.
For those of you who were not able to attend, Dan had a beautiful service last Friday. I so appreciate everyone who attended, and apologize if I was not able to visit with you. It was wonderful to see that Dan was so loved and well thought of. Thank you also to all those who sent flowers, and made donations to Young Life and the Boise Rescue Mission in his honor. For those in Minnesota, a service is still in the works, I am just awaiting the final details.
Many blessings to you all,
Jen
HI Jen. We've moved and I don't yet have internet, but am on briefly now at a coffeeshop. I am thinking of you daily. I think keeping the blog going is a wonderful idea. I had some PTSD type stuff after Fiona's illness and it was incredibly therapeutic to go back and re-read the posts during her illness and afterwards. Still is useful to me! Many hugs and warm wishes to you and Jack, I'm praying for you.
ReplyDeleteClaire, it is so good to hear from you. I just asked Hilary how you were doing. Thanks for the encouragement on keeping the blog going, I really appreciate it. Hope you are doing well, looking forward to hearing about your adventures!
