7 years/3 months
I had a hard week last week and as the weekend approached I realized what the date was -- the 22nd. Seven years since mom's passing and 3 months since Keith's. I stumbled through my Y.W. lesson on Sunday. Trying to teach the girls that there are blessings with trials. I wanted to say that I'm still waiting to see the blessings or feel like I've grown in some way from loosing my brother. How can there be any? Anyway, what I wanted to say was that today I visited my sister Natalie's blog. She paid a beautiful tribute to both mom and Keith. She has a way with words. She was able to what I couldn't - I couldn't organize my thoughts at least not a beautifully as she did. She is awesome. I don't think she would mind me inviting others to read her words. Please click on her link. I hope she doesn't mind me borrowing her feelings as they feel so much like mine. I love you Nat. Can't wait to give you a hug.

I SOOO agree with you! It is difficult... somehow we will make it though- we have to!
I don't know how good it was- it was just me typing as thoughts, emotions, and tears flowed. But thanks for the compliment. It is so hard and I do miss them both, but I know that Heavenly Father Loves us and that our Savior has felt our pain and somehow they will make it right!
My heart goes out to each of you. I read Natalie's tribute--touching! You are such a sweet family. Even though these days are painful, you may look back on them and cherish the tenderness of them. I hope that you can always love each other.
