On February 18, this world lost one of its angels but it was definitely heaven’s gain. Chris’ mother passed away after a year long bout with breast cancer that spread to her liver. She was truly an amazing woman-so full of kindness and grace. It has been a hard couple of weeks…I am so intensely grateful for my family, both extended and immediate. They are truly awesome and life would not at all be the same without family.
A while back I included these lyrics in an email I sent out to many of you but I think it needs to be repeated because we can all forget what is important from time to time:
Don’t Blink by Kenny Chesney
“Don’t blink
Just like that you’re six years old and you take a nap and you
Wake up and you’re twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
Don’t blink
You just might miss your babies growing like mine did
Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your “better half”
Of fifty years is there in bed
And you’re praying God takes you instead
Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster then you think
So Don’t blink”
Here is a little photo tribute to Mary:
And of course we spent time with our adorable niece and nephews…
