Before we left I was so looking forward to getting away – away from therapies and appointments, away from lessons and nurses, away from forms and pharmacies and DMEs and insurance companies, away from everything – to just be us, our family. Saturday morning brought us word that the the mortal probation of a sweet little girl that we know had ended. How my heart aches for her family. I know that she is free from pain. She is well and loved where she is, but her poor family has to get up and move through their lives without her. They have to learn to live without their sweetheart. How is such a thing possible? How is it possible the world keeps spinning when these wonderful little lives leave here to go there? The rest of our trip I pondered so many things in my heart. When we went to the Wildlife Refuge I thought of this family’s opportunity to go to the Houston Zoo and feed the animals, to touch them and be up close with the zoologists. How I pray the Lord will carry the Hill family through their adjustment to life without Ember. Their family has been sealed in the temple of our God. Their eternal destination has been chosen, but it’s this mortal time that is so hard. I am so grateful for my family, for all the time we have together. Life can change so quickly and so drastically. For this weekend I was grateful we were away and together.
