Family Matters

 

This week has been a roller coaster of emotions.

We were thrilled to finally see and spend some time with my sister Lynn and her husband Steve.

 We shared special loving memories as we marked the first anniversary of Mom's passing.

We all miss her so much.

On Friday, we were shocked and saddened to learn that my dear cousin Rich

 suffered a massive heart attack and passed away.

 We had just lost his brother Doug to cancer at Christmas.

 ...an unwelcome and painful reminder of just how quickly time passes...

and how fragile life is.

And yet we are so grateful for 

  God's many blessings.

Today we celebrate Daniel's 28th birthday.

The best son ever!

Remembering the angels in our lives.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Hoping the week ahead brings all good things!
