Is this the way it's supposed to be?

Fourteen months of work on living with the death of Aaron.

I look at the world differently. Mostly, I don't feel a part of the world as it is. I see traffic moving and people hustling, days turn to night and back to day. I'm a witness to the anxiety of life and less of a participant.

At the same time I feel a responsibility to use with humility, the talents God gave me. That's a different perspective for me. It's healthy.

Football season is coming. This was forever Aaron and Dad time. The fun is gone; now football is just salt on the wound. I find it more than ironic that the last two Packer first round draft picks were Aarons--Aaron Rogers in '05 and and AJ even in Aaron (AJ) Hawk in '06.

Is this the way it's supposed to be?
