10 Thing I have learned since Eric died.

1. The middle of night Ambien is my friend, I hope I never run out.
2 When you think you can’t eat anything, turn to french toast.
3 I am glad for every single time I let him bend the rules, there was joy in his life.
4 If you cry sitting down and bend at the waist you do not mess up your makeup
5 I am a stronger person than I ever wanted to be. No matter what, I can get up and live through every day.
6 Crying and contact lenses are not compatible, wear your glasses.
7 There must be a rule that I was unaware of that ham is the "meat of grief" in my community.
8 Amazingly, new people in my life who never knew him can be the most compassionate.
9 Very few people want no other answer than "fine" when they ask how you are doing. The rest are true blessings.
10 No matter how many times I buy the chocolate yogurt, the only one who liked it is not here to eat it.
