What is "NORMAL"?
Everyone talks about the "new normal" after you lose a child. I don't believe "normal" will ever return to my house after my 18 year old son, Max, was killed in a car crash on 8/6/10. "Normal Died With Max", and this blog is about the life I have without him.

Wanting Normal, but it is gone...
Tonight, I was processing the 12 week mark, the last time I heard Max's voice, the last time I saw him alive. Todd & I usually process together each night for a little while, but tonight I waited too late and hit Todd when he was beyond tired and he snapped at me. I burst into tears. He said he wanted just one day of "normal". I laughed cynically and said "good luck with that one"!! NORMAL DIED WITH MAX. I have said it all along. I am having a hard time understanding how I am supposed to live the rest of my life without Max in it. It's too long. 12 weeks seems so long, and yet in the big scheme of things, it's a very small amount of time. Todd & I made up, and now we are going to bed. I hate waking up on Friday mornings.
