What the day brought

I finished school yesterday it was sweet and bitter! I almost felt guilty for wanting to be happy. One of my favorite things to do when I finished a semester was call my Dad. He was not a big phone person so we would talk all of 1.5 minutes. It would go something like this-
Me-Hey Dad-I just finished my last final today.
Dad-ALRIGHT
Me-I'm so excited-where are you?
Dad-watching Price is right just got back from McDonald's! What are you going to do now?
Me-Scream
Dad-Why don't you go turn some cartwheels in a green grassy field!!!
Me-Yeah
Dad-Good job honey-I knew you could do it. Your smart like your mama!!!

Sounds silly but it just wasn't the same.
Yesterday would have been my parents 43rd anniversary.
and yesterday my mom's brother (my uncle) passed away age 58. He had a heart attack last week.

As our family faces the sadness and emptiness of death I am grateful to know that families are forever and that we will be together with our family again. All that I have known has been tested in the last 2 1/2 months of my life and as I have searched and prayed I have found only more truth to the teachings that I have always known to be true. I am so blessed to have all that I do.
