One year ago today we lost her. Today we took Max to Bryce and did some beautiful hikes. We brought back some rocks to put around both girls' trees in the backyard. When we got to Bryce though, I got really sad. The first place we stopped was called rainbow point. I immediately recognized where I was because I went there with my family as a girl. I think I was about Max's age. But I had forgotten until today. The memory of being there before was strong. It was a beautiful day and I was young and free and full of hope and joy. For a moment I yearned to be that girl again. And I allowed myself a few tears for my daughter, before pulling up my bootstraps and hiking all day with Jason and Max. Max said it was the best day 💜. It was. We hiked, we ate, we played catch in a field. We thought about Sophia. It was a lovely day.
