So, yesterday was a tough day. I had to say goodbye to yet another sister.....moving to Arizona. How can it be true? Wasn't it bad enough that Janna had to move last June? Now Jennifer less than a year later. Is this some kind of a joke, because I'm not laughing. I feel like a part of my heart has been cut out and still expected to go about my daily life and not miss it. Well, that's not possible. Moving to Idaho Falls more than 6 years ago and being 3 1/2 hours from them was hard enough but we made a great effort to see each other regularly. We had a wonderful time together creating endless memories. Our children love and adore each other and have become so close. Why when things are going so well, does a good thing have to come to an end? I ask myself that everyday. Now we are 15 hours away. I mean how often can I realistically see them in a year? 2 or 3 times? That just isn't acceptable. And yet, I know for their families, this is where they are supposed to be. They have been guided by Heavenly Father and we all know once we get an answer we have to move forward. So, now I have to put on a happy face and act as though this isn't devastating and difficult for me. I will do my best but it won't be easy. I love their children like they are my own. I feel so blessed that my Heavenly Father gave me the gift of two amazing sisters to help me while on this earth. I know he loves me just because of this great blessing in my life. I also know that He has a plan. We don't know what that plan is so we must trust that He knows what's best. Janna and Jenny, you are the best sisters anyone could ask for. Thank you for your love and kindness through the years. I will cherish you in every way and look forward to someday when we will be together forever. I love you with all my heart (even though a part of my heart is missing) :) Please know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers everyday. May God keep you in the hollow of his hand.....
P.S. I love my beautiful mother in this picture too. I know she is very sad to have all three of her daughters living far away from her. So sorry mom... :(
