Why hasn't their world stopped?

Have you ever had a big event happen in your life and then been driving down the road...and you see people in cars going to work or the grocery store. I am always amazed to wonder why this day isn't significant in their lives. How could they be going to work on a day like this. What could posses them to continue on in their day normally. The first time I felt this way was on my wedding day. I had dreamed of it as a girl, hoped for it as a 20 something, planned for it while engaged, and was totally absorbed in it on that day. But they didn't even know.

Thursday I had that feeling again. My father-in-law went into a rest home that day. With the circumstances it is the best place for him. But it brings his mortality that much closer. (He has cancer for those who don't know.) I heard it and as I was driving home I just looked at these people and kept wondering why hadn't there world so abruptly stopped like ours had.

All our love Mom and Dad Reid.

Returned With Honor.

Welcome home Elder and Sister Fershtut. We are so excited to welcome my parents home from the Philippines, Manila Mission. They did such a good job on their mission and are already talking about another.

So good to see them again and have them back.

Love you Mom and Dad.

My Brother and his fam.

What a fun visit we had with my brother and his cute family. We stayed with them a couple nights in Virginia. I fell in love with their cute daughter with such a fun personality, and their sweet babe with kissable cheeks. Kari was so good to us putting us up and cooking for us with such a young baby. And I absolutely love my brother Guild. Thanks for the fun trip it was good to see you guys.

My Pop Pop and Aunt Ilene

My wonderful husband supported me in spending our money, time off and energy to go and visit my only living grandparent.

First we spent a great couple of days with Chris' Mom at her family reunion. It was so fun getting to meet her wonderful family. Unfortunately we forgot the camera so it's not documented.

Then to Baltimore to visit my beautiful Aunt and my Pop Pop Leonard. I just sat next to my grandpa and put my hand on his knee and soaked him in. My awesome man took all three kids to the aquarium in downtown MD so I could spend the day with my Aunt and Grandpa. It was so special to have time with my Aunt. I have always felt close to her and admired her for her strength and beauty. It was such a special trip. Thanks to all who made it possible.

I love Asher's cheese.

This ceramic cat has been in my Grandpa's house since I was a kid and my parents told us we couldn't touch it. Now I'm the one telling my kids no. Memories.
