Cathy

This morning my Aunt Cathy passed away unexpectedly. I had a job interview, so Michelle and Phill decided not to tell me until afterwards. Its a strange feeling to know someone is gone before you really know it. I don't know if that makes sense.

My Aunt had just written a nice email to me a couple days ago about missing us and wanting to see Asher Ben and how excited she was about his birthday. I just feel bad now that we never got to have that visit.

And my heart is broken for Fallon, Josh, and Jason, who have now lost both their parents.

We packed this kids up this evening and we all went to spend some family time at Fallon's house. Its all still really surreal, which I'm sure will change after the funeral.

So I just want to say this now, before I forget to blog later. I'm grateful for the good memories I have of Cathy. And I want to thank her for the things she did for me and my sister when we were children. For taking us in when we needed a home and someone to mother us. For always caring about us. Thank you.
