On July 17th, my whole world came crashing down. My husband, best friend, soulmate, high school sweetheart of 11 years was killed in a freak accident. He was helping a neighbor remove a tree, when the tree came crashing down on the machine killing him instantly. I'm left with our newborn daughter, and a shattered heart.

10 days or a lifetime?
It's been 10 days since Pete was killed. I feel lost. I feel scared. I'm so sad, that my body actually feels numb. My sweet Stella is almost 11 weeks old now....she doesn't even realize how much her life changed in an instant. How will I make it?
You will make it for yourself, Stella and Pete's memory. Your life with Pete was a journey of places you went, experiences you shared and people you met. Your journey is far from over, Pete would not of wanted you to stop now. "There is no MapQuest to life". We can pick and choose the people we get to make our journeys with but we have no control over when those people can be taken from us. Pete made the most of every single day, he had the world and you gave it to him, never forget that. You will make it Caitie, not today or tomorrow but one day you will look back and say to yourself, me and Stella made it.
