Heartbreak and Sadness

My heart is in so much pain, i feel as though I cant deeply breath! We have experienced great loss and mourn our dear, sweet Cindy. I have been asking God why. It makes NO sense at all to me. It came as such a shock, so much in so little of a time. Its very hard to be here in Texas when i want to be there holding and being held by my East County family. I am thankful for my East County family here, but we miss our home!

Abigail, Alli, and I were recalling our fun memories and loved experiences about our friend Cindy this afternoon while crying and laughing in each others arms. we shared about trips, camping, cooking, mission trips, lifegroups, knitting, craft parties, longerberger baskets, artichokes, mary engelbreit, ford escape, tea, fourth of July's, football, hugs, the list goes on. Many of these words may not mean a lot to you, but they have a special place in our hearts. We miss her, but we also are thankful she is at home. Alli put it best, "all the great ones are in Heaven! I sure am jealous Cindy gets to be with Adam right now." I smiled when I heard that! How great for Alli to say that... it warmed my heart, I am glad of that, she's going home.

What a dear friend she was to my mom, to so many others and to me. She had a bright smile and lived a much fulfilled and Godly life. She loved the Lord and loved her family. One of my absolute favorite things is how her boys could make her laugh so hard she would cry. We love you very much Cindy!
