I SURVIVED ONE WEEK WITHOUT CONNOR – First of all, Connor has been away from the house PLENTY of times over seventeen years. He has been on trips to grandparents, school trips, and various academic opportunities that had him travel without us. Within the last few years, he has spent many a night at friends’ houses too. This week has been different though. It is the knowledge that he is not coming back that threw me for a loop. I haven’t been crying, but I am definitely struggling to accept this new way of life. The house is so quiet, and food stays in the fridge and pantry for longer than a day. I am sure we all will adjust, me included, but right now, I am just happy I made it through this first week without him.
