+# Day 6
+
+Today is my birthday. I've never really been a big birthday person, so not doing much is pretty normal.
+
+I missed Jaxon today, a lot. It would have been nice to take my nap next to him, or watch a show with him on my lap.
+
+Instead, I'll put some photos of Jaxon to commemorate.
+
+Watching from the headboard

+
+Such good naps his tongue would stick out

+
+-----
+
+Tomorrow will be one week since he passed away. In some ways, it feels like it was forever ago. In some ways, it still
+seems like it was yesterday. 
+
+I think I'm doing better than I expected to be at this point, but I think I really have my wife and son to thank for that.
+They've been very uplifting, and I am very thankful to have them.
+
+Brad has also started to come out of his shell a little. I think he spent so long as a "second" to Jaxon that he never really
+found his own way, but now he's really starting to break out little by little. He's currently sitting right behind me, 
+something I don't think he's *ever* done before.
+
+Things will be okay.
