On the 14th, was Alice's funeral in Provo. The service was absolutely beautiful. I was so glad that the majority of my family could make the trip to Utah so we could all be there to support each other. I felt the love of my family so strong that day. Alice, you are an amazing woman and our whole family can't wait to be with you again.
After the funeral I was able to drive home to Texas with my uncle Kelsey and my grandma. My mom had recently gotten surgery for twisted bowel syndrome and had recently gotten home from the hospital. A few days after I got home, she started having pains and we brought her to the hospital again. She ended up staying there for a whole week. It was really hard seeing the person you rely on most having to rely on you. Good news is we have seen much improvement from her and know she'll get back to her usual self!
What I have learned from these experiences...
1. I am so blessed to have a wonderful family that loves me
2. The sacredness of motherhood
3. I need to take care of myself
P.S. It was also my birthday this month but I will have a new post for that!
