Celebrated the 88 years this woman spent on the earth. Her passing, of course, leaves a huge chasm in the lives of those who love her.
A bridal shower for a young woman in our ward - she gets married a short time after her brother enters the MTC for his mission to Japan. (I haven't seen her mother without tears in her eyes for a few weeks...) This young lady literally glows. (Wondering if I ever looked like that about my future husband and our future life together? I'm guessing - yes.)
At the shower, the (almost) bride's cousin was there with her 8 day old daughter. A precious bundle topped with tons of dark hair.
And life goes on. We rejoice in each stage, weep together at times, and share each others' joys.
Reminds me of this quote:
What do we live for, if not to make life less difficult for each other?
Today's hope: for wisdom to find the joy in each day, however hidden it may seem. And for the ability to lessen another's difficulty along the way.
