And then there were two.
Four months and one day ago, I was mom in a crazy, blended family of six.
Four months ago today, we lost the heart of our family, my Tanner. We became a family of five.
Not long after, Reegin moved out. Four.
Today, Darrell and I officially ended our engagement. Even the strongest of marriages often don’t survive the death of a child. Grief changes people. There is no blame, just a lot of pain and loss.
My heart is breaking for my Travis who will come home from camp tonight having now lost the man he thought would be dad, and the sister he almost had. The guilt I feel in not being able to keep this family together in the wake of Tanner’s death feels like an impossible weight to carry. It’s all just too much.
Now we are two: just me and my kid.
Please keep us in your prayers.
