Just Over A Week Ago

It has been one week and one day since my Mother-in-law's funeral. She passed away over the 4th of July weekend while we were all together at a family reunion in Park City, Utah. Her death came as such a shock. She would have been celebrating her 50th birthday just two days later. The whole experience has been very surreal. It has been an emotionally exhausting summer to say the least. In some ways I feel like I'm caught up in a whirlwind of changes. I am so grateful for the Plan of Salvation. I have seen so many of the Lord's tender mercies throughout the last couple of weeks.
