Sad

Yesterday my beautiful 30 year old daughter in law, Kristi, passed away and I am so sad for my son, for her three little boys, and her mom and dad and her brother and sister and grandparents and all of her family and friends who will miss her so much. She is spending her first days with the Lord and it doesn't get any better than that, but for those who are left behind, there is such a huge empty space. Her oldest son is four and he said it best, "nothing will ever be the same again without Mommy." When you work with frail elderly you end up going to a lot of funerals ---- sadly, many times the people we serve are so very alone that we are the only ones at their funerals --- just us and the funeral director. That always breaks my heart. I don't have to worry about that for Kristi's service. There will be a lot of people there and I know God will comfort us all as we celebrate her life.
