Sometimes Technology Hurts.

Today is a great day because Andrew is 10 years ols today! Today is a sucky date because it happens to be the date that Tyler passed away. I seriously thought I was going to be able to skate by this one without it being too painful. Thinking about it last night was saddening, but not in a rip-your-heart-out-from-the-loss kind of way.

Technology is a beautiful thing, and has connected me to my family and friends in ways that have made this transition of living far away so much easier. Today, technology is a double edged sword. It's wonderful that so many people are able to share their thoughts about my dear brother, and it's inspiring that so many have been affected by his life, even after 8 long years of being without him. But it's also bringing all those feelings of loss right to the surface, and I'm just barely teetering on the edge of breaking down here at work.

I'm grateful to have so many friends and family sending their love and support right now. But I'm officially logging off all community networks. I need to get some work done, and it's already been a long day.
