She's Gone


 This is very difficult to write.  Two weeks ago today my beautiful mother passed away.  Several months ago when I told her we were extending our mission she gasped and said, "I don't think I can live that long!"  She was right.   We flew home the day after our original release date and she died two days later.  I miss her so much.  I love this picture because it shows Mom with her perpetual smile.  It also shows what a great family I have.  When we got to the hospital on Friday night, they were having a party!  There was so much love shared between us all.  That is pretty amazing considering that we are steps, and halfs and halfs again.  We all worked together very well when it was time to make arrangements.

I love you Mom.  I am so grateful for the woman you were and are.  You taught me well and left a wonderful posterity.  I look forward to seeing you again.
