~August 8, 2009 (my sister’s baby shower)
Today brings the task of laying my father to rest. This will be a very hard day for my family and I, but we know this must be done. I do not think I will fully believe what has happened until I see my father.
Such a hard day. We must be strong and remain resolved to see this process through. I know we will find comfort from each other. As much as I want to turn and run the other way I know I can not.
Peace be unto you and all who you meet and please especially upon my family and all those who knew and loved my dad.

I am so so sorry. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
xoxo,
Samantha
