Spring Break Is Almost Over
Wow. Spring Break is almost over and it doesn't even feel like it has began. Almost crazy how it has flown by. I've not got as much accomplished over break as I had planned, but it has been pretty good.
My aunt passed away Monday. Her services were Wed. and yesterday. She has been battling with cancer for 2 years and the Lord finally saw it fit to take her home. She had been suffering for such a long time and for the past 2 months hasn't been able to eat, and now she is many many many many times better off. She told Mom a few weeks ago that she just wanted the sun to shine and the Lord to take her home. Monday was a beautiful sunny day. Then yesterday during the gravfeside service the sun was shining so pretty, even though snow was predicted for the whole day. Isn't it wonderful how God smiles on us like that. It's amazing how we get comfort from the simplest things in life. After the service Dad, Mom, Gary, Kathy, Aunt Joyce, Poppy, Bimbo, Di, Marisa, Tosha and I went to the big place of Elkhorn City and ate at the Rusty Spoon. It was nice to have the family out together like that, it had been awhile since we were all together, even if it was under those circumstances. We had a good time - and it was good to get Bimbo out with us. Everyone just needs to pray for him. It's only the beginning of a long road for him to go down with Dee Dee gone. I just hope that he can lean on God and us, his family, to get through it. I find it hard though to be very sad about Dee Dee dieing. She is so much better off and she wanted so much to go home. She left behind a huge testimony and was always very uplifting when we would visit her, even up until the last week she was alive. Despite all her pain she had the strength to praise God and to smile.
This evening the family is going to my Poppy's house. That should be fun. We are taking him down a computer and DVD player and hooking them up for him. That's right, my Poppy is entering the world of technology. I think he'll catch on pretty quickly though.
I really dread school starting back. I don't feel like I have had the chance to enjoy my break like I should. I like to think of it this way though, the sooner we go back, the sooner I get out. So that makes it a little better. I've got reading I need to do and a paper I need to start on. I've been doing some major procrastinating over break and I am about to run out of days to procrastinate with. Oh well I suppose. I will get it done, eventually.
Well I guess that is all for now. Everyone please remember my family in your prayers.
God Bless
