Lifes Like That

Last night was a pretty rough night for my husband and his family.  His mother passed away last night.  After two years of fighting with cancer, she just couldn’t fight any longer.  At least now she is in peace and is not suffering any more.  Understandably the family is upset, but there is also a sense of relief as well.  We chose not to tell the kids this morning before they went to school, but when they both arrive back home this afternoon, I will break the news to them.  Losing any family member is rough, but when it comes down to the individual suffering, you really do have that sense of relief.  So, I know the next few days will be pretty rough as well, but with the family being so close and all together, I’m sure we will get through this traumatic event somehow.
