After a nice respite from the heat, Sam and I are back in Houston. I hope you enjoy these pictures (by the way, I just posted a lot more pictures of Kristen in the "Pictures" section). As you can see we really had a great time.
Sam traveled well. Thank you all for your prayers of safe travel for the two of us.
As you can imagine, people are often asking me how I'm doing. The best response I can give is to tell them that every day is very different. Some days are full of tears and other days are full of fun and distraction. I certainly understand what another young husband meant in a grieving/coping book I recently read. He said that it was impossible for him to live without her forever, but maybe he could live without her for just today. That's very much how I feel - I just try to take each day individually. Forever is too hard to grasp.
