With this it all begins....

Well I have finally decided to start a blog of my own. My husband, Todd, started a very personal and touching blog about his travels with grief after our dear sweet daughter, Cassandra Anne, passed away in April of 2005. It worked remarkably well for us. We couldn't talk about our grief so Todd would blog about it and I would read it and then leave comments for him. We sent the link to our family and friends who didn't know how to ask us if we were "OK" or were so deep in their own pain that they couldn't even talk about Cassie. We also made the blog public hoping it would help others who might stumble upon it. It was wonderful to know that our family, friends, total strangers were keeping up with us though the blog and leaving us messages both publicly and privately supporting us thought the whole process. But the blog was Todd's baby and I didn't want to "compete" by having my own blog. It think that Todd has sort of ended the other blog and it is now okay for me to start a blog of my own. So now, as we head into an unbelievably scary and uncertain new stage of our lives together I think it would be a good thing to begin blogging. To keep a record not only for myself, but also for the love of our lives, our almost 5 year old daughter Lesley Kennedy.
