Who will miss me when I'm gone?

This question popped into my mind today at church.

As I pack today to leave for a trip with my patients family, I think of the question:

Who will miss me when I'm gone?

I hope lots of people will miss me, but I hope that my girls and husband will miss me the most! Some people may think that I am crazy to take this trip with strangers / not family.

To you I say this:

These people are family just as my girls and husband are to me. They allow me into their home to care for their terminally ill handicap child. When I am around these people I have a since of peace, love, and hope.

I know that God has sent me to care for this child and sent me to this family for a reason.

These next few days will be hard, because I have never been away from my family for such an extended period of time. I know they will miss me, but I will miss them more.

As Father Roni mentioned today at mass: God has a yoke for each of us. That yoke, if taken from the Lord, will fit us perfect and will lead us on the right path.

I know what path I am going on it is the path of: truth, love, faith, and hope. I hope that everyone decides to put the yoke the Lord gives to us and follow that path.

Well, I am leaving tomorrow and will not be back until sometime on Saturday or Sunday. I hope no one misses me too much.

I LOVE YOU ALL!
