It has been a whole year since my Mother-in-law passed away. Looking back on that awful day it feels like it was a decade ago! But at the same time I can still hear her voice. Is it possible to feel like it was forever ago and like it just happened yesterday at the same time? Either way, I miss her. A lot. For the 1 year anniversary we went out to her grave. It was freezing outside and the kids had just been in a car for 4 hours so it didn't go as planned. I was hoping Cory would have more time to talk to his mom, but the kids were acting up and we were all cold. We did spend about 10 minutes there though. It brought back a year ago when Alexis was handed a flower from her funeral and she put it in the box with her grandmas ashes. It was such a precious moment and a sad moment in one. I am so sad that my kids will never know her. I think that's the hardest part about the whole thing. I wish she was still with us, but with her passing has brought that side of the family so much closer together. We see Cory's grandma (his moms mom) a heck of a lot more often now, and we see his aunts, uncles and cousins more frequently as well. That's been such a blessing to us. We appreciate them and make the effort to make sure that we see them at every opportunity. So to sign off I'll do it it a Mary-Kay fashion.... Hugs and Kisses to all!
