Well I have been gone for so long I feel like I have to find my groove again. With my last couple of posts the one thing that I haven't put on here or tried to not dwell on is the tragic accident that my cousin had this summer.
As she and her girls were coming home from a baby shower a guy in a pick up truck fell asleep at the wheel and smashed into their car. My cousins girls in the back seat just 10 and 11 never survived. The driver of the pick up truck died a few weeks later. My cousin and her 17 year old daughter survived but barely. We as a family have been changed permantley and grown stronger and closer. My cousins daughter is home and healing with crutches to get around. My cousin is still in the hospital but hoping to come home in the next two weeks. She is the most amazing women so strong and emotional at once. She knows how to balance the two in a way I couldn't even imagine.
The funeral was so hard. What words do you use to console a mother, father, sister that have lost two angels. My cousin was still on bed rest and in a stretcher for the funerals so she stayed outside on the sidewalk as the rest of us went inside the funeral home to say goodbye to Miki and Alex. Then we wen to the girls school for the funeral it was held in the gym and it was standing room only. I couldn't believe the outpouring of love and support. That love and support has not stopped in the months since. This past weekend there was a fundraiser for the family and again it was standing room only and my cousin was able to attend. It was such a wonderful feeling to see her healing and loving.
I have also had good news two weeks ago my grandson was born and has brought light back into our house. It is still sad and hard to go on but I love coming home on my bad days and holding him. I am very blessed to have such good friends and family.
