As hard as it may seem here, there is great rejoicing in Heaven. Another of God's children has been called home to Him and she is now sitting in Heaven. Late Sunday night my mother-in-law, Dusty, was taking home. She valiantly battled cancer for almost 3 years and could battle no longer. The word battle hardly seems appropriate or strong enough, but unfortunately our language is lacking in words to use (or maybe I cannot come up with them at this point...). It is a great thing to know that she is in Heaven and is happy with her dad, my grandma and my baby (Auggie, who I miscarried last December). She was a wonderful woman and we will miss her on earth, but look forward to seeing her in Heaven.
There should be no tears shed on earth, although I know there will be many. We can't be selfish when God takes his children home. I would love to have her still on this earth and get to meet her grand babies and help me raise my children, but I know that she is in a much, much better place and for that we need to smile and praise the Lord.
