A Month of Chuck

May.

It used to be one of my favorite months.

Not too hot.  Not too cool.  Flowers blooming.  Green grass.  Walking around barefoot 99% of the time.

Now I think of May and I have to stifle my groans.

Mother's Day.

Charlotte's 2nd birthday.

The one year anniversary of the day we said good-bye.

How's that for a month?  We can't just prepare ourselves for ONE day...rather we have gut-wrenching milestones beginning, middle and end.

I can't wait {Insert sarcasm}

I plan on doing my fair share of moping, crying and "depressing" this month, but I also feel the need to use these impossibly hard days to honor Charlotte and reflect on the memories that she left behind.

Prepare yourselves for the "Month of Chuck!" starting May 1, 2012.
