Well, Mom only lived a week after her surgery and my stepdad is now moving near to his son, so my heavy responsibily for them is about to end. <BR/><BR/>Ever since Mom's graduation to heaven on the 20th, I have felt very little grief but almost only relief that she is no longer suffering and joy that she is healed and in the very presence of God and again, you are teaching me that this is OK!<BR/><BR/>Love the \0/ that I saw in another comment, that is how I feel and thank you, Tyson, for sharing.

She was, and is, still a part of our family, with or without my uncle. Try to remember that it's not your presence that reminds them of Leslie, it is her absence. It has been quite a few years since my uncle passed away and she still comes to family events, but now she doesn't come alone. She brings her husband of 3 years. What a blessing to have yet another member in our family to love! I pray it will be the same for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942298247061510776.post-29495443285449237182008-12-02T19:54:00.000-06:002008-12-02T19:54:00.000-06:00Thank God for the joy and peace He gives in the mi...Thank God for the joy and peace He gives in the midst of sadness and loss. We love you, Ty, and are so glad that you are a part of our family. The hole in our family is huge--32 years of fun, fat-producing Thanksgivings with Leslie growing up with the rest of her cousins, getting married, having babies and now....we miss her so much! Thank you for sharing the day with us. We will never recover from her loss but hopefully, we will allow the loss to transform us as you are doing. Your example to all the young men out there is incredible. Even writing out the thank you notes! Now that's some good training coming from somewhere! Thanks for being YOU! Leslie has to be smiling up there. Auntie Gayle<BR/><BR/>PS Stick a wreath on the door, put out the nativity set and leave the rest.
