We went to see Grandma and Grandpa S after church the Sunday before Christmas to exchange presents. When we arrived, we were able to visit with Rebecca's oldest brother and his wife, and their youngest with her cute little girl.

Soon after arriving, Rebecca's brother and his family left to go home. It wasn't much later that Rebecca's mom got a phone call. The brother who'd just left, his oldest son had been killed in a car accident.
Despite the smiles of the previous posts, this Christmas was very hard, very emotional. That heartache continues into the new year.

When someone dies, you mourn. But not for the loved one that is now in heaven...
... but for those left behind.
Rebecca's nephew, Devin, left behind a bride of 5 years and a sweet little 2-year-old girl.
