Zombie Mom

I'm taking a quick, short break from the blog for a bit. As you probably saw, we lost an awesome part of our family recently.

Sunday morning my brother-in-law passed away. It was very unexpected and a huge shock. He had been in the hospital over a month, battling some things, but he was coming home today. Today he would have come home. I just realized that as I typed it...anyhow, had he passed a few weeks ago when he first went into the hospital, it would have been a shock, but more expected. We knew he was sick then and we were worried and scared. When we visited with him Saturday night he was fine. He was great actually. He was proudly telling us how well he had done in physical therapy, talking about coming home Tuesday. The worry and fear was gone. Tom was better and coming home.

Finding out he was gone the next morning...it wasn't right. We had JUST seen him the night before. He was fine. HE WAS FINE.

And now he's gone.

Tom was an awesome Uncle. He loved his nieces and nephews a lot. He was an awesome brother, friend, and son. Just an overall great guy. The world is definitely missing out. It's just not as good of a place without him here.

We're all grieving right now. Life is going on around us like nothing significant has happened, while all of our world's have been turned upside down.

Sometimes I'm okay. A lot of times I'm not. But I know it's going to get easier. We'll learn that it is possible to live in a world without someone who was such a big part of it.

Please keep our family in your thoughts and prayers as we learn to live without someone we love so much. We need peace right now. Can you ask that we're given that?

I'll be back eventually when things aren't so raw around the edges.
