 # Day 1 - Night
+The second night without Jaxon was harder than the first, but I guess I expected it would be.
 
+It's my first day working from home without him, and it's a little tough without my usual project manager. 
+Even if he was *usually* sleeping on the keyboard, he would otherwise sit in the weirdest positions to be close to me.

+Unfortunately we weren't able to go for a walk before Bennet's nap, but I think we will be able to go this afternoon.
+
+I still get weepy from time to time when I encounter a new "first" without him.
+
+When preparing lunch (leftover brats) it occurred to me that when I originally grilled them, Jaxon was still with us.
+I don't know why, but the thought hurt a lot. To think again of the happy memories we had just days before he passed.
+
+I know it will get easier, but part of me wants to stay sad forever. That to do otherwise would mean I loved him less.  
+But I know that's not true, that it will heal, and that he would want me to be happy again.
