Steps to Independence

I did something yesterday that I have not done in over 20 years. I bought a new car by myself! I have not dealt with the financing stuff the entire time Kevin and I were together. I fought with the dealers about the price, but Kevin was the money man. I am quite proud of myself, I managed to get $10,000. off by buying a program car. I did manage to get the top of the line Sonata. I have not been taken back by overwhelming bouts of balling in a few days.
I am not sure what to expect this weekend. Sunday is the one month anniversary of Kevin's death. I have been warned that this will be a hard time. I am trying to keep busy. Dad is BBQing on Sunday, so that will be most of the afternoon. I am going to a musical performance on Saturday night with Betsy and Brenda. So that evening should be OK. The music should help remember how much Kevin loved it.
I was going through the small memory boxes and found some of the pins from his school band and singing awards. I also ran across the albums from his performances in High School. I feel these are treasures that I will keep for a while. Kevin treasured these items and they make me feel he is here.
