Updates

This past Sunday, Simon and I traveled with my family to my old college town. The choir was performing the Me.ssiah and it would also give us a chance to update Lyra's grave.

I never know whether I'm supposed to smile in these pictures. "Look how great I look in front of my daughter's grave!" I inevitably smile because it's just what I do when there is a camera. But it feels funny.

Simon was wowed by the Christmas decorations, and it was freezing. But it was nice to go back and see her spot. I miss her.

  1. Glad that you had the chance to update Lyra's grave. I don't know....smile or not smile....either way posing for a picture in front of your baby daughter's grave isn't how it should be so....I don't know. I'm thinking of you today and will be especially in the coming weeks.

  2. I like your picture, but it's a weird thing to like a picture of someone's daughter's gravesite, I guess. It's all so freaking complicated.

    You do look great, though.

    I'm thinking about you and Lyra a lot this month.

  3. I never know whether to smile either. I sort of have a stock standard face for those photos, and it is more of a grin, closed mouth style. Shit, this really does suck doesn't it?
