+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.

+But I know that's not true, that it will heal, and that he would want me to be happy again.
