It has been a crazy few weeks. Since the last update we have started to see the reality of the year for us.
It is not the year we were hoping so desperately for. I'm going to be brief for this post and perhaps follow it up in a week or two once I get more settled. But for now, here's what has gone down.
In July my car died. My parents came out to visit and sell us their old cars, and a week or two after that, my mom was diagnosed with cancer.
Cut to the end of August, she was in the hospital and coming to the end of a surprisingly quick battle with Cancer. She passed away August 30th, and I was VERY thankful that I was able to get out there and spend time with her in the last 36 hours she was alive.
I was very thankful, too, that I could be with her when she died, as much as it hurt and as sad and devastating it was to experience. My dad and I then drove to Michigan and made arrangements for her funeral and burial. We were thankful that we could remember her in a way that was both glorifying to God and to memorialize her life. She is now at peace and with no more pain, which is a blessing I cannot even begin to speak on, since there are no words to do so adequately.
We buried her with my grandpa in Georgetown Cemetery, and even got to visit with my dear Grandpa. I left a pretty pink rose on his tombstone, and cried a few tears for him too.
Life has been seemingly on hold for the last few weeks. It's still on hold for a while, and I hope that something good will happen to us soon. Tim and I are too much sad that our lives with my mom were cut so short. I know that's life, and I'm trying to deal with it.
It has just been a really sad week or three. I hope and pray it gets better. There are no other words to say.
