Over the weekend my sweet mother in law passed away very unexpectedly, and I can't even begin to describe the sadness that we feel. The feeling of such overwhelming loss is weighing so very heavy on all of our hearts. My heart is broken.
Even sweet Ella keeps asking, "Where's Gramamama?"
I am sure you will all understand, I will be taking a break from blogging for a short time. I have a post for later this week and a giveaway, but that is already done and scheduled.
I need the time to mourne, care for, and love my family.
I am grateful to know that she is in a loving and happy place. Now, more than ever, I am so thankful to know that we will see her again.
I never thought I would be writing an obituary at the age of 30 for one of my mothers. If you would like to read her obituary, you can find it here. She is truly one of the most loving and remarkable women that ever lived.

My heart breaks for you too! I lost my Mother a little over a year ago... it does get easier, you will think of her and smile and not cry after awhile! Tell you daughter about her, keep her alive in her heart. Talk about her with family and friends, some people think they shouldn't and don't know what to say, but it helps to just talk about her! I am sending my prayers to your and your family.
Hugs,
Pendra
