July 9, 2015. A very sad and beautiful day.

Today is the day we bury my sweet Heather. While I was getting ready I started to hum (which I seldom do) and the to sing "I Need Thee Every Hour," (I am not a good singer and I never sing hymns at home.) This precious thought then came to my mind, "I love you pretty mommy." The impression was strong and clear. Heather liked to call me that. It always made me feel special. Right now I feel so loved! I don't know how we will make it without her, but I am sure going to try.

The day felt like a long blur. So many loving people came to honor Heather. She has touched so many people! It is staggering! All of the many arrangements were carefully planned and executed. Kyle has been amazing!! I can't imagine handling any of this better than him. It is very strange to go to your child's funeral service and not plan everything. I felt like I wasn't doing enough. Like there could never be enough done on her behalf. I was wrong. Kyle included everyone in the family and many of Heather's most special friends. Everything was absolutely perfect. I could not have orchestrated this day. Everything was as it should be.
