RECOVERY-DAY TWO-EVEN MY DOGS ARE SAD

BEFORE MIKE PASSED, PRESLEY WENT THREE DAYS WITH OUT EATING.  I AM WITH FAMILY MOST OF THE DAY, BUT I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO AT NIGHT WITH OUT MY DOGIES.  THEY LAY WITH ME IN BED, AND GIVE ME KISSES-I GUESS IT IS THERE WAY OF SAYING "SORRY MOM".  MY DARLING GRAND DAUGHTERS KEEP ME GOING THROUGHOUT THE DAY-THEIR SMILES REALLY LIGHT UP A ROOM!!  WE ARE ALL TAKING IT ONE DAY AT A TIME-DEALING WITH OUR GRIEF IN OUR OWN WAY.  I DO KNOW THAT WHEN MY MOM DIED, THE PROMISED RESURRECTION HELPED SO MUCH.  THE SAME WAS TRUE WHEN MY DAD PASSED AWAY. I WAS CONTENT KNOWING THAT SOMEDAY DOWN THE ROAD THERE WOULD BE THIS PROMISED RESURRECTION AS IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR GOD TO LIE.  BUT NOW, THAT'S ABOUT ALL I THINK ABOUT.  I GO TO SLEEP DREAMING ABOUT IT, THINK ABOUT IT THROUGHOUT THE DAY, AND FALL ASLEEP THINKING ABOUT IT AT NIGHT.  I ONLY THOUGHT I KNEW THE STING OF DEATH BEFORE-NOW I AM SURE I DO.  I START MY DAY WITH A GOOD MORNING KISS TO MIKE'S PICTURE, AND END IT THE SAME WAY.  AT NIGHT I TELL HIM (EVEN THOUGH I KNOW HE CAN NOT HEAR ME), THAT I AM SO SORRY, BUT I CAN NOT SLEEP IN THE SAME ROOM WITH HIM RIGHT NOW.  I KNOW I WILL AGAIN-BUT IT WILL JUST TAKE SOME TIME.  YESTERDAY I PUT AN AD ON CREIGSLIST TO SELL OUR BED ROOM SET.  I WILL KEEP OUR BOX SPRING AND MATTRESS, BUT I THINK IT WILL HELP IN THE HEALING PROCESS NOT TO SEE THE SAME FURNITURE IN THE ROOM.  MY KIDS HAVE SAID THEY WILL PAINT IT FOR ME WHICH WOULD BE LOVELY AND HELP AS WELL.  I  RECEIVED  MANY MANY  CARDS IN THE MAIL YESTERDAY, AND MORE FLOWERS.  I THINK MIKE WOULD HAVE BEEN SO HAPPY TO SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE'S LIVES HE TOUCHED.  WELL, I AM GETTING TEARS IN MY CAFFE' CON LECHE', SO I THINK IT MIGHT BE A GOOD TIME TO END MY SECOND DAY OF RECOVERY.  TILL LATER MY DEAR FRIENDS-JUST ME
