Hard weekend

We moved everything out of Wes' mom's house this past weekend. I knew it would be hard, but I was taken aback by how emotional I was in the morning. I met everyone there a little bit later than they had arrived, teary-eyed on the way there, telling myself, "DON'T YOU DARE CRY WHEN YOU'RE THERE!".   If Wes, Brandon, and Tara weren't so strong and so "normal" when I arrived, I probably would have lost it. I sometimes don't know how they do it, but they are such a strong family!

We moved furniture to various homes, Wes, Brandon, Tara, and Darren worked so hard and were physically exhausted from moving everything.

Barb is such an amazing woman! It's still hard for me to believe she is living on the other side of the veil. I miss her and think about her often.

Our home definitely looks more beautiful with so many of her beautiful things in it, although we would much rather have her here with us. That's just not meant to be.

I told Barb one day (well before she got sick) of the great legacy she and her husband had built for their children and how grateful I was to now be a part of that. I still feel that way! I am honoured to be a "Pitcher" and part of this great family.
