I felt the same way. In August of 2020 I lost my Dad and we traveled from Colorado to Ohio for three weeks for services and helping my stepmother. Then in August of 2023 we lost my stepmother. Then just last month my husband lost his younger brother and this past month we have been going through exactly the same feelings as you. It has been a week now since his services and my husband and I are trying to find some peace. It isn't easy and time only dilutes the pain, grief and heartfelt 💔 sadness. The person you have lost you really haven't lost they will always be with you...just in a different way. Our condolences 🙏 to you and your's and to anyone out there going through this thing called life.

I can tell how empty he feels as he tries to figure out how to navigate without his beloved Leslie. Perhaps he can find some comfort in a support group. I’m single (75) and if I were there, we’d have a good time together and I’d be his friend. So fun watching the excitement in Leo as he is experiencing new adventures like boat show and his own seat on the plane, it was fun for him. How is Trent’s grandparents doing? Would love an update on those two sweeties! Great video Allie! ❤️👏
