This has been such a crazy month and I'll be glad when it's over. My other niece, Carly Nichole, passed away yesterday. I'm glad to know that those two are together and they are in loving arms. They must have been really close to their Heavenly Father for Him to call them back so quickly. I will forever remember Jon, gently and tenderly wiping the drool from Carly's little lip, and then looking into her little face, knowing that she may not ever come home. To me it shows the pure love of a parent.

This experience has helped me to remember the important things in life. Sometimes we get so caught up in something someone has done or said to us, but really, none of that matters. The most important things in this life are our families. And I've always known that, but it was a good reminder for me. One good thing to come of this is that we have grown so much closer as a family and we appreciate each other, and our little ones, so much more.

I am again so grateful for the prayers, thoughts, and kind words of everyone. Jon and Rachel have handled this situation more gracefully than I ever could. I definitely admire them. We will never forget these two little angels that brushed into and then out of our lives so quickly.
