But today I was doing some thinking. Do you ever have moments where you feel like you're reliving something? The first couple of performances after we competed at Blackpool, when we danced the latin medley, it was like I was back on that floor at the Winter Gardens, dancing in front of Brian Watson and the rest of the judges. Instead of seeing the audience at the small theatres in London or Sheffield, I was looking out at the Blackpool crowd.
And then yesterday, when we were in Dundee, Scotland taking a walking tour of the city, we walked through a cemetery dating back to the 1500s, and it was like I was in Utah standing at my grandma's grave. I was remembering little details, like all the grandkids pulling out roses to dry and keep from the arrangement on her casket. I have these moments every so often where I realize she is not here. And sometimes I just can't help but cry all over again.
I just miss her, ya know? And I want her to know that I haven't forgotten her. And...it's just like...if this is how I feel, I can't even imagine what my mom or my grandpa feel like. I'm so sorry, I am so sorry.
And I decided that no one else I love is ever allowed to die before me. And I plan on living a long time, so you all better stay healthy, okay?
Cheers, and go read my other blog for a happy post.

Well I had one of those moments last night and just sobbed my eyes out all over again. I want to tell grandma all about our big trip and what we're all doing and then I remember she's not here and it really hurts and I hate doing life without my mom. But here we are and we have to do it without her and it stinks......but I am excited to see you.
i love you katie. :)
It's good to read a post from you! I'm sorry it's not a happy post, but I have no doubt you are having an amazing time! :)
