This week I am out of town with my family at a lake we used to frequent often. P & I traveled here together while dating in high school, he had his bachelor party here and numerous time since we were married. One of the last times we came here together, I remember waking up in the middle of the night and Patrick was gone I don't remember if I called him or just waited for him to return. For all I knew he could have been down at the club below our hotel, getting his groove on. Come to find out he was starting to have an asthma attack while we were asleep. So he got up and went downstairs to the lobby, asked the front desk to call a cab but walked to the store mid attack because the cab was taking too long. Poor guy.
All this without waking me up.
Smart man.

As I took Will out on the boat, in that same vest yesterday, I couldn't help but think of Patrick. All the memories we shared here... and all the memories we should be making together this week, with Will.
It kills me to think of everything he is missing.

I am glad you have family close to you that you are able to take little summer trips with. I hope you are enjoying summer as much as possible! Did Will love the boat this time?
he whined a little bit but overall he is enjoying it much more this summer!
Erynn,
I think it is wonderful that you are keeping up with the traditions that you and Patrick had as a couple for W & R.
Glad to hear Will is enjoying boating more this summer! Hope Reese is holding up well in the always oversized baby life jackets:)

Great memory! It's wonderful that you are carrying on the traditions with your children. They are very lucky to have you as their Mom!!
I just read about you meeting Matt on his blog, so funny he scared debbie away lol!
Daaaaaaaaaaaaam Erynn. Nice bikini bod. Sheesh. :purging:
I am sure next summer he will love it even more! I agree w/Debbie, I think it is wonderful you are keeping the traditions alive! It would be so easy just to stay inside and be sad. Even though you are still sad inside it is important to be strong for your kiddos.
awww, he looked SO darn cute in that vest. I'm so sorry this is such a hard trip on you ((hug))
Im sure its hard to go on and do the things you and P loved to do together, but I think its important that you carry on those traditions for Will and Reese. One day they will appreciate it so much! Hope you are having a wonderful week, and stay COOL!
You are having such wonderful memories of you and P together! Thank you for sharing your Journey with all of us.
I am at a hard Place in my Life right now and your strength gives me strength, As weird As that may Sound.

I cannot believe that Patrick walked to the by himself to the store! How sweet of him not to want to wake you up. I love that picture of you two! Hot! I can't wait to see pictures of W from this trip. xoxoxo.
