After Sophia Grace-Day 4

Preparations for Princess Sophia's funeral are keeping our hands and minds busy. Once that is past, I'm uncertain what the future holds for our family.

When JoJo died, we 'circled the wagons' as a family. We closed off most 'outsiders', not maliciously, or purposefully, but more for survival. Only someone who has experienced this pain can actually relate. And even our immediate family cannot possibly comprehend what Sarah and Joey are experiencing.

Our attempts to make sense out of this or to understand are futile. We just pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and try to go on substantially 'normally' for those who need us most. Each other.
