So, an AMAZING thing just happened..⁣
⁣
When in Tunisia last fall, I had written this letter and tucked it in a glass bottle to place in the sand. A way to memorialize Connor and have a piece of him with me along my travels. 💜💜🖤⁣
⁣
Fast forward to earlier today, I received a PM with these photos, and a message from a lovely man in Libya named Osama who informed me that he had found my message in a bottle!⁣
⁣
We had a nice little chat about our lives and was overall a wonderfully unexpected surprise!⁣
⁣
Oh, life.💞⁣

For some, music can be an absolutely wonderful therapeutic release, especially during the difficult times 💞

The "Before & After." ⁣
⁣
I would give ANYTHING to go back to "the before." ⁣
⁣
ANY. THING. ⁣
⁣
But, since I can't go back and MORE IMPORTANTLY, since I want to honor my son's life, memory and spirit, I choose to embrace, accept & honor all the things...⁣
⁣
The messy. ⁣
⁣
The ugly. ⁣
⁣
The beautiful.⁣
⁣
The exciting and the inexplicable. ⁣
⁣
Be present in every moment and live a beautiful, musical life.❤️❤️💜🎵🎶⁣

Holy Shit! It’s January 20-something!?⁣
⁣
I would like to give a late but GIANT THANKS to EVERYONE at @hotel_labadira in Hammamet, Tunisia. *If you're reading and you remember me, say, "HI!" 🙂👋⁣
⁣
I can't say enough about this beautiful place and the outstanding staff. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⁣

⁣
I spent my "Conner Week" there (8 days alone). 💔🌅 ⁣
⁣
It was the ultimate in self-care and the "perfect place" to endure (relive) the heartache, despair, sadness and anger as I worked my way through a painful two-year marking date. 💔⁣
⁣
The pain and grief of losing my sweet Conner will never disappear, but during this week I was able to sit with and honor every emotion that came up surrounding his death and every emotion attached to what my life looks like now.⁣
