packing my bags

On Monday, I found out my Grandpa (my mom's dad) passed away.

It's horrible timing for our family,

not that there's ever really a "good" time...

We know he's in a better place.

Pain free...happy...with Jesus, my Grandma and my mom.

But there's been a lot of "why now?"

After a lot of debate,

I decided I would fly to Kauai next week for his funeral.

It was a really hard decision for me...

but since my mom obviously won't be there (at least not physically)

I felt like someone should represent our family.

And I was the only one who seemed to be able to go.

It's been one of the hardest decisions I've had to make since my mom passed.

I wanted to support family

but I haven't seen my husband for almost 2 weeks,

and I'll miss my kids

My husband gets back Sunday night.

I fly out early Monday morning.

I will miss my 4 year olds cute little "Thanksgiving Feast" at preschool.

I know it's such a small little thing, but I am bummed.

I fly home on Thanksgiving and get home early Friday morning.

Friday we'll host a little "Thanksgiving" dinner.

I have never made a turkey.

I am not known for my housekeeping skills.

I am really trying not to get overwhelmed

by everything that's going on.

I'm hanging in there.

I know God is good

and He has a plan

even if I have no clue what it is.

Happy weekend!
