Today Am's aunt Joan passed away. She has been battling cancer and was called home. Am was able to be there at the hospital today to say goodbye.
Tenille took the kids to the fair for the day and I picked them up tonight. I took the time as we rode back to Grandma's house to talk about death and what it means when our body separates from it's spirit. I explained how we need to celebrate Joan's return home to heaven and about grieving and what happens at the funeral. I told the kids that God never calls someone home until they've finished their mission on earth and since we don't ever know when that might be we need to make each day count.
It's been hard for Am. She was close to Joan and is trying to be a support to Joan's kids (her cousins). She was only 59. Next weekend we'll be going to grandpa Franklin's 80th birthday party.
