And what does it matter that I am so disappointed in the Red Sox that I stopped paying attention in August; was hoping the Nationals would move on in the playoffs so baseball would hold some interest; wish the Patriots would play 60 minutes of football; am loving a new show (for me), The Voice; have lost interest in Glee and continue to like Homeland, The Good Wife and Blue Bloods?
Is this a sign that life has somewhat normalized for me? That while I think about Josh every day, it is more in the vein of my other three kids, which means that his death is no longer front and center? Could it be that I am "moving on"? And if so, how do I feel about this? The cursor keeps blinking while pondering. I am not sure, so make a note-to-self; write about this in my next journal entry. Whether I do or not, who knows, but at least the question is in my conscious.
In the meantime, Lauren's work with the Josh Anderson Foundation (JAF) is picking up. We co-sponsored the powerful Active Mind's Send Silence Packing display on the University of Virginia's lawn" on October 4th. Click here to see their blog post of the event.
Lauren had an opportunity to share with other students about that fateful day, when as a 4th year student at UVA, she learned of the devastating news that would change her life and work. Click here to see the video.
We continue to make in-roads at local high schools and are being asked to fund a number of programs that will reach teens, our foundation's target audience; so much so, that we are considering an "emergency" bar fundraiser this fall so that we have enough money to last until the annual half/full marathon run fundraiser in March, 2013. A good problem to have.
All in memory of Josh - whom we love and miss more than ever.
