Living is a whole new adventure when you suddenly find yourself alone, widowed and the mother of four young boys a lot like their Dad.
How Am I Doing? Don’t Ask Me
Please stop asking me how am I doing, I have no answer. Friends and family close to me are often asked, “How is Janae doing?” by others who know me. It also comes from those who are thinking of me and have heard my husband died, thus leaving me with 4 little boys. I think people want a connection to me within this raw reality, or a reassurance that I’m ok, but somehow they don’t feel able to ask me themselves.
The First Halloween
The first Halloween without Grant, I was annoyed at all the pictures of families, the ones with dads planning, coordinating costumes with their children. This is a favorite holiday of our children and like usual, it is stressful for me as I tried to appease all the costume desires of 4 different boys.
