A VERY HARD TIME!!!

Today I am constantly close to tears. I have lost it off and on since I heard from two of my Sister in laws this morning. My Mother-in-law- has survived Polio, Diabetes, two broken hips, some heart issues and has learned to walk from scratch four times in her life. Parkinson's has taken it's toll and she is very close to passing away. My heart is breaking for my sweet Husband, his Sisters and Carol's amazing husband Kennedy.Kennedy has taken such sweet, kind care of her for so long now and we are all so grateful for him! It is very hard to watch those you are close to suffer. I spent some time at her bedside yesterday and have been reminded of how fragile life is. We need to cherish those we love and treat them as though they may not always be with us. Carol is an amazing Woman and Mother and raised four amazingly beautiful children who love their families and their Heavenly Father. She is a great example to me of perseverance and strength. The plan of salvation gives me great comfort and courage right now and I am very grateful for my knowledge of it and my belief in our Savior Jesus Christ.

I am so sorry about your mother in law. It is hard to deal with all the emotions and the toll that it can take. I hope that you guys find some comfort at this time.

She really was an amazing woman. A great mother, grandmother and friend. And, Kennedy has been such a blessing to have. We love them both very much!
