You never really realize how much your life can be put on hold until a loved one passes away. But life can be put on hold. Everything can stop and the issues of getting certain tasks done don't really seem to be as important as you thought they were. At least for that time, until you can deal with things again. Our family has been dealing with the loss of my mother-in-law for the past few weeks. She had been fighting Multiple Sclerosis for the past 19 years and we're thankful she doesn't have to deal with that disease yet we miss her all at the same time.
We are so lucky to have great family and friends that have rallied around us and picked up all the pieces that we couldn't help but drop. And the tons of fresh flowers around my house now......I've never been given sooooo many in my life, let alone all at one time! And as cliché as it may sound....I'm making sure to take the time to stop and smell them.
