it is a start

today I got up, and went for a run. It is something that I have been meaning to do for some time, but we all know what they say about good intentions. So I just did it. I didn't keep running for the whole 2 miles, but tomorrow is another chance at it. I'm still all messed up inside, this kinda hit me unexpectedly. I guess the one that gets left doesn't always see it coming. Anyway, it gets me out of bed, work off some tummy, and makes me clean myself up for the day. Wow, even the little things like that are hard right now.

I went to see Jamie's parents last night. They were very supportive as I knew they would be. They are great people and I will miss them very much. We talked,cried,and laughed a little bit. Even though J and I were only married 3 years, we were together for 14, and her family was there for that whole time too. I am loosing much more than just one person here.

Later in the night i called Jamie's brother (her only sibling) that I have known since he was 9. He will always be like a little brother to me. Over the last two years Jamie kept talking me out of telling him about me, I wish I would have ignored her. I could tell it was hard on him to get flooded with all this information so fast and over the phone. Oh well can't change the past. He is coming into town in a few weeks and we have plans to grab a beer.

One foot in front of the other for now
