Today was just kind of different. We had Gabe's birthday dinner at my mom's. Uncle Pat was there, but without Aunt Carol. It was so strange her not being there. They prayed for the family at church. When they announced her death you could hear the collective gasp of people just hearing the news. I met 2 cousins I had never met before, at Gabe's birthday dinner. My uncle is just lost right now. Grandpa said that on Friday Aunt Carol was struggling for each breath, so I know she is out of pain now. I just miss having her here.
Sean and I are heading out to the store to get him a new suit. Uncle Pat asked him to be a pallbearer and the one he wore for my dad's funeral is way too big. We are just going to WalMart where they had a nice one on sale. I never thought you could buy suits there. I learned something new.
I was thinking how many of us in blogworld have gone through the death of a loved on lately. Lura's grandma, Crystal's friend, Brian's dad, my aunt. It is really sad.
I hope you all know how much I truely care about each one of you and that I love you. I guess a death always reminds me how much.

It is hard not to miss our loved ones when they pass....that's the hardest part for me is that I will never hear that person talk, laugh or see their smiling face again. It's hard. It helps to know that they are no longer suffering but it doesn't lessen how much they are missed and loved! I love you too! It's very important that we nurture our relationships and a death does remind us of that.

I called you about an hour ago and a nice lady answered and said that you and Sean were out. I will try you again later.

I am glad your family could all be together! Your Aunt's suffering is over and that is something to be thankful for. Hope you got a nice suit for Sen, let's see some pictures of him in it.

I am sorry for your loss.

You know they always say people die in 3's...well, this is just ridiculous...this is 4 in about a month.

oh carrie, you are too much

I am so sorry for the loss. We all know that good things eventually come and for your aunt, they already have.
