One year ago...

Well, it was one year ago. Rachael was welcomed into God's arms and the eternal kingdom one year ago. We miss her so much and it was so hard to revisit that day. We took Alex's mom to church and then took flowers to the grave, afterwards visiting with the immediate family back at the house. Kind of surreal being together without her but we went through that during the holiday's as well. Michael is doing well and the kids are adjusting. Still difficult but they have a lot of family and friends surrounding them with love and prayers.

I guess you never know how it really feels until you are in the situation. But it depends who they were to you... Seems like it should be a happy time. Happy that they are blessed for eternity and have no more pain, worries, sadness. But here we sit, missing them and wishing that we could talk to them one more time. Wishing we could hold them, tell them we love them, laugh with them one more time. Some would say it is selfish to wish they were still here with us...

Then I guess she was loved by very selfish people.

I think of her everyday.

Every prayer I say includes her name...

We miss you, we love you, we know we will see you again.
