Big Sur
Originally uploaded by projectpink
We did a road trip to see my parents. On the way back we drove PCH along the coast through Big Sur. Usually we just take the 5, but
we (my mom, dad, husband, son and myself) wanted to stop in Big Sur to celebrate my brothers' lives. The day we went was on their birthday on April 10th. We stopped at one of Andy & Greg's favorite spots, Sand Dollar.
It was a perfect day to drive through Big Sur. You never know if it will be overcast or not. My brothers loved Big Sur. I love it too.
This photo is at Bixby bridge on the way to where we would stop to
remember my brothers.
Now I am back home...and I have a brutal pain in my shoulder,arm and neck. Part of me thinks it might be partly due to the passing of my brothers. I don't think I have really come to terms with their passing. Now my body is in pain...I didn't do anything out of the ordinary to get this pain that I can pinpoint. Emotions, stress, bad habits, sleep position, picking up my 34 lb. son...all kinds of things are factors in the way the body operates. I'm icing the painful area and getting an MRI in my shoulder area tomorrow. I have had this brutal pain for over a week now. I hope to have relief soon. The DR said, "breathe". For whatever reason (most likely stress), I am taking short breaths. I'm trying very hard to relax, which seems like a stressful way to relax.

Oh! Dear Valerie,
I'm sure a good size piece of your pain is the huge loss you've suffered. I think it takes years to process the violence and confusion of loosing two whole members of your family! Ak! You'll get out of pain, it just might take a little time.
Treat yourself well, you deserve it.
With care,
P-
I'm thinking of you, Valerie. I hope all the pain lessens soon. Nice photo of you and Z.
xo,
Kelly
