Well, today is here. This is the first new normal day of our lives. I woke up for work just as I normally would, took a shower, and then laid back down for a bit while Sabrina showered. I got up and poked my head in Emma's room and told her I would be back in a while to help her get dressed. I went in the room, ironed my clothes and got dressed. I stuck my head back in Emma's door to see if she was up....she wasn't. Once again I told her to start moving and I would be back in a minute. I went to the kitchen and poured our coffee into our cups for the morning. I grabbed my wallet, my keys, my phone and put them in my pockets. I went back in to Emma's room and got her up and dressed and told her to go brush her teeth. Sabrina was just about ready and getting the rest of Emma's lunch together and all of her things in her book bag arranged for school. I got Emma's shoes on and gave her a big hug and kiss goodbye. I went over to Sabrina and told her "have a manageable day sweetheart." I drove to work and my phone rang at the same time it always does. Sabrina called on the way to daycare. Emma was in the background and telling me how she grabbed all of her LOL Surprise dolls to show Ms. Susan and her friends at school. Sabrina had to run back in the house because of course Emma forgot one of her babies. We talked a bit and I told them I loved them both and to have a great day at school and work. Now this would normally just be a normal day, but now it's a new normal. We are missing our beautiful Sammie girl so much, and every day from here on out will just be figuring out what our new normal is. So if you see one of us, just realize right now we are just trying to learn a new way of life. We are trying to find a new normal.
We Love You Big Girl, Forever and Always <3
