It's Been 20 Days

Tonight, out of the blue, Catherine's husband sent me a text with the following picture:

A drawing that hung on her wall

This hung on her living room wall for the longest time.  It was something she had made through an Etsy shop (maybe??) several years ago, back when i was still blonde!  LOL

It's this kind of thing that just sinks me.  And as bad as it is for me, I can only imagine it is a bajillion times worse for her husband.  He reached out tonight because he's just as lost as I am.  We are so far away geographically that I can't check in with him, physically go see him, etc.  I feel so bad for him.  My depth of pain is crushing.  His must be absolutely stifling.

Catherine was cremated, as was her wishes.  At the funeral he had mentioned a plan for us all to get together in Michigan to spread her ashes.  I am going to begin the process of planning a fall trip to Detroit to spend a weekend with her husband, her childhood friend and her husband and Catherine's spirit.  I am so looking forward to it.
