Catching Up

There are dozens of diary entries to add to this blog. We were three years in Hawaii, followed by North Carolina and 9/11. But tonight it's time for sleep. It's 12:10 AM. I should be tired, exhausted actually, but I don't sleep when Sean is away. I wake multiple times, never settling into that deep, restful sleep. Still, I will try.

We're breakfasting with Sean later this morning. It's strange with iChat or Skype. Sean is gone, and yet somehow present. We say goodbye over and over. We share our days through email, but still I don't sleep. His presence is both felt and missing. I don't know if it's better or worse than his just being gone. It's simply different.
