Wednesday Blues--Toughing it out

Tonight St. Mark's Church is holding a Show/Ceremony for the outgoing 4-year olds...I hesitate to call it a Graduation...I don't think they do.

I truly had no thoughts of going until last week when a few mothers and teachers told us they would like us to come. A few moms stopped by the house last week to drop off a scrapbook of pictures of Christine at pre-school...they all made a page or two. I've not had the will power to look at it yet.

I'm very hesitant to bring sorrow to the kids/parents at such a joyful time for them...moving on to kindergarten, but weather we are there or not, they will show pictures of Christine. So C and I are going to *tough it out* and go (sitting in the back). I told C to cry this afternoon so we can hold up better tonight...I've shed a few tears here at the office just talking to others about it and a bit at noon mass, but have not had a good cry...it will be a tough one for sure......as we attempt to endure yet another sorrowful event w/o our precious Christine.

Just back...a few tears, more from C (which got me started). The kids sang a bunch of songs and then they showed pix of the year--only a few pix of Christine in the first few slides. First time in a long time I've seen her angelic face...lots of tears. They were holding a *social* gathering after...we skated out.....and so ends the day.
