@sandiamorello Well, the bottle is pretty much empty in this time zone. Where did all the flaws suddenly go?

@WidowsPique That day of sunshine will come. Maybe it's already there somehow.

@WidowsPique Hey Sarah, how are ya? Running away from darkness, or running towards (or with) the light?

@awayforabit The diary is about that first year. Plenty of stories after that obviously, but not gonna publish those :-)

@awayforabit Thank you for your kind words. I was away for a bit myself (from Twitter). You hang in, and thanks for checking in.

@sandiamorello Your twitter-bio just made me crack up. Can I book you for a date? 9 pm here in Amsterdam? Wait, I'll read your book first.

Opening the urn with my car keys, not wasting more time, so there they go, my wife's ashes. http://t.co/QcLLZLPFR4

@GriefbyNotes Thank you! Smiling is a good response. :-)

So how do you scatter ashes? Here's a clumsy manual. http://t.co/hnzgr9tlDj

When it comes to random memories of their Mom, this one stands out for the boys. She could stink it up. Really... http://t.co/BVFvhdT3Sq
