This last week got even harder with the news that dear Jennie went to be with Jesus as well, the day after your 9 month birthday. I have to admit I was literally in disbelief up hearing the news! Even though I don't see her and her family often because of the distance, it somehow is not connecting in my brain that I won't see her again, talk to her again, or see her sweet posts on FB. I walked around the whole day in a daze, crying, and with an intensely heavy heart. I have said this so many times, cancer sucks! In less than 1 year I know personally 4 people ranging in age 8-47 who have all lost their lives to this horrific disease. It just makes me sick and I wish I could make it so that no one else has to die from it. So many lives cut short and so many families left here on earth with the deepest pain we have could ever imagine! Ever since Thursday I can't help but feel sick to my stomach when I think of what her 5 young children and her dear husband are enduring. I wish I could take some of that pain for them because it can become so intense as the days go on. Just another reminder that this earth is not our home...we were made for another place. Jennie lived an amazing life here on earth and was an inspiration and encouragement to everyone she came in contact with! She is deeply missed here, but I know she is enjoying the glorious presence of Jesus! And does she ever deserve it!!!
Moving on, we had Trinity's 2nd birthday party today. Mom, Cecily, and I were the ones who were able to go, and Cecily had a great time playing with her minnie mouse kitchen. It was nice to see my cousins as well as Uncle John and Aunt Mary.
Well, I am just so emotionally fried after this week I have very little left in me. We all miss you and long for the day we are all reunited!
Your Favorite Second Born,
Carley
You and Trinity at Grandma's 80th birthday party last year. Makes me sad to know she won't get to know her (literal and figurative) great uncle!
