Unreal how this thing called 'life' just keeps going without Cody.  It feels so different and so sad.  I was in Florida on Thursday.  14 months since Cody left.  I went to dinner with Roy and Christian and Alex.  I noticed a table next to me.  Little did I know, that when I looked more closely, it was a nurse practitioner from Sloan.  I reached my hand out and touched her.  Roy was in the bathroom and I was just sitting there with my nephews.  She looked at me and then we both hugged.  She was the first familiar face I saw after he had the seizure.  (We were down in radiology getting an xray when it happened.)  She and the team got down there as fast as they could.  It was so weird to see her in Florida.  She has a beautiful little boy and her husband was charming.  We took a picture together and she sent it to some of the other NP's I know.  They are such amazing people.  She then texted me and said "Cody wanted to be remembered today".  Of course, I think about him constantly but that was clearing a sign that he wanted me to know he was with me, as I know he always seems to be.
