Heaven Gained Another Angel
For the past few months, I've alluded to the fact that my family was going through something big, something heavy....but that it wasn't my story to share.
For the past six months, my MIL had been battling lung cancer. She fought it with everything she had, but three weeks ago, the doctors said that nothing more could be done. So we brought her home.
We visited a lot with her over the past few weeks, and everything we wanted and needed to say, was. We brought the girls around as long as she was feeling well, and I hope Emmy will always carry those nice memories.
We were given notice on Friday that the end was probably near, and so the whole family was able to go be with her. On Saturday afternoon, surrounded by the family that loved her, my MIL peacefully passed away. Through our tears and grief, we were happy that she was no longer in pain.
As this blog also serves as a memory book for my family, I will be sharing a more touching tribute about my MIL in the future. But this is all I can muster today.
Thank you for all the prayers and well wishes I have received on Twitter...they really do need a lot. Please continue to keep my family, most especially Skip, in your thoughts as we go through this tough week.
