Emotions!!

I am going back and forth on this blog being public, I haven't as you can see written on it for a bit. I decided I am also such an emotional person- more so then I believe I was before: So, here I am.. I feel like I need to post on this and spread the word a bit. My (8yr old) has a cute little friend named Averi: She and Bugs are joined at the hip when they can be.. Things changed a bit this year when Averi decided to go to the local school by her home rather then the charter School: So now they see each other but not daily! They are as they say still best friends.
I have gotten to know Averi's Mom and I sure love her! When Trent passed away Lisa and I talked a lot as she knew I was/is having a hard time w/his death. Lisa is also a hospice nurse and own's a hospice company! She is amazing and so sweet.. After Trent died we had talked a lot about it and she had stated how she hadn't really had anyone die and was not familiar w/it (as far as her family) being hospice she saw it in other's. Month's later her brother was diagnosed w/cancer and he ended up passing away.. So, long story short- her sister was then on the journey. If you get a chance Please go and read her blog (her husband) has done such a WONDERFUL job putting it together and I promise you it will bring you to tears but I think it will also bring you closer to Faith and to understanding of there being more out there.

Jolyns Journey!!

It's such an emotional blog but it is honest and it takes you to each journey since her diagnosis 7 months ago. Sadly September 7th Jolyn passed away, my heart is so full as I continue to read. I feel so strongly about this amazing sister of Lisa and I feel as if I knew her. My love and prayers are with all of the Family as they carry on through the hard days ahead missing there loved one.
