April came and gone and now it's a new month. April was my 30th birthday, and we celebrated my grandma's birthday as well, but of course we didn't do any celebrating as we lost my uncle unexpectedly around our birthdays. After being emotional and a rough three weeks in and out of the hospital visiting my uncle, losing him, than his viewing on my birthday and the day after his burial service I was not in the mood to celebrate. Losing my uncle has been hard as him and I were close and had a bond like no other. You know it may be a new month, but he won't be forgotten as I still think this is all a nightmare and I'm waiting to wake up.
So here we are a new month hoping for a little better month than April. We kicked off May by doing our first walk as a family, and it was the Lupus Walk 2016 in memory of our friend Reylen who lost her battle to lupus in September of 2015. Her family, friends, and us got together wear shirts in her honor as well as some walked holding a banner with her pictures and information. It was a 5k(3 miles) and we did it and couldn't be prouder especially it being my second one, and my husband and son( he was in the stroller getting push by me) first 5k and here is and hoping for many more.
Now here is to a better month and let's see what's in store for us! Stay tuned!
