April countdown

Alright things are seriously still going good. My training is coming along. I'm not getting my long runs in like I should but hope to catch up a little this week. I love it.
We went to visit Trey's grave on Saturday after malery's game. It was really hard. But we needed to. My kids wanted to give him his easter eggs. So we picked out some sports one's and of course filled them with Bubble Gum and put them on his grave. I also got some pinwheels and stuck themin the ground. Funny thing - it was definitely windy at malery's soccer game, we got to the cemetary and it seemed calm. we stuck the pinwheels in the gound and for a second they didn't move - then all of a sudden a big gust of wind came and they started spinning like crazy. I told the kids that Trey was making the wind blow so that he could tell us thanks for the Easter Eggs. Of couse I had a great cry while standing there. You honestly just feel numb - like how can this be that I'm standing over Trey's grave. he should've been playing soccer today or should've had his first baseball practice. We should be planning on coloring the eggs later today - but then back to reality and the tears fall and it's a horrible numb feeling. Sorry.... I miss him, and I know so many other people do too.
So back to training - I have less than a month left. 4 more good training weeks left. I'm doing fine - I even ran hills the other day! WOW!
Thanks for all the love and support we're receiving - Have a good Easter with your families -
Please keep Ryan in your prayers - he's hanging in there - Official member of the Blue Jackets.
The Mallets just got back from their Make a Wish Trip - Olivia is doing the typical HS Senior stuff - Pictures, prom, college applications, graduation - which is so wonderful! Say a prayer for all the J5 kids. I told Jason the other day it's just not fair all these kids that are affected. His response is that J5 has always been there and kids come and go thru it - some survive and others don't. It's just really "hit home" that we are in the J5 group of greivers now.
