It's not yet 7 am on March 6th. Six months ago right now, Rachel, John and I think Joey were here with Ani, Tim and I and Laura's body. My strong brilliant wife died at 5:26 am six months ago today. I was awake today at that time thinking about time. Time really is relative. Time has moved so so differently for me and our family. It seems like another lifetime ago that Laura was in hospice and alive. And at the same time, the memories of good times with our family seem close by. It is so strange.
We are still doing pretty regular dinners during the work week with friends. Our big news is that Ani has moved out and is now living in Dead Horse Point State Park in Moab UT. She got into her subaru on Monday March 2 and drove off into the morning mist and into her next adventure. Tim has had the flu but is on the mend. My Mom and Dick are supposed to come out for two weeks at the end of March but I have a feeling she might cancel due to COVID-19 virus and the Left Coast.
I just wanted to say its been six months since Laura died...
Here are some pics:

Jeremy and Ani. We had a going away party for Ani last Friday and our local family came to with her well |
 |
Cathy, National Park Ranger, gives Ani some ranger advice! |
 |
Ani is talking about how much she will miss Louis and how much Louis will miss her. Both dogs are kinda depressed now that Ani is gone... Louis especially. |
 |
nothing more to say but Vicious |
 |
Louis is skeptical about Ani packing and driving off... |
 |
Tim is cutting the Peanut Butter Pie he had for his 22nd birthday on March 1. We are just moving through life events without Laura/Mom... |
 |
Really, Dad, Do we need more pictures??? Note the succulent plant in her hand that Annik gave her. the plant was literally the last thing to go into the car. |
 |
Peanut Butter Pie with GF Oreo crust. Rich! |

Dead Horse Point State Park the day Ani arrived |

More Dead Horse State Park |

Our house is still here and the sun still sets in the West. |
One step at a time. Life is good. Be kind to each other and yourself.
