today josh and i went to the grocery store for momma dun together.

i rode in the cart while josh pushed just like we used to. he said he and the rest of his family are starting to talk again.

just, his dad is still not really speaking to him. i know that's hard for josh.

but, he told me it's alright and he's going to try and talk to him again later.

we're really quiet when we're together now. i mean, we were quiet before the incident, but now we're extra quiet. i guess we're just kind of in that awkward stage of healing.

in therapy, we talked about how it isn't just one of us healing, but both, and if we want to have any chance of being together, we need to heal together.

we also talked about how to voice our feelings instead of just bottling them up.

so today, when i felt sad and josh asked why, i told him.

he listened and paid attention to what i said, and he even asked questions. it was nice. i felt appreciated.
