Some of my thoughts from that day:
My cousin is a month older than I am. We grew up together. She lived in Utah and I lived in Idaho but we saw each other many times a year. I was a bridesmaid at her wedding. The entire day I kept thinking "I don't know how I could bury my husband at this time in my life." I am so thankful for each day I have with him.
Her daughters participated in a lot of the funeral services. I thought they were so strong for being so young. I don't know how my children would survive without their father.
I am so thankful for a body that is healthy and strong. Her husband was diagnosed with kidney problems many years ago. He has been very sick for the last several years. It has been a long, hard journey for their family. There are so many things in my life that I take for granted. My health and the health of my husband is one of them. I complain over lots of little aches and pains but I really need to be more grateful for the blessing that I can work and play along side my loved ones.
Finally, I couldn't help but think about how differently our lives have turned out. All those years ago, how could we have ever known where life would take us.
My prayers are with this little family as they move forward with their lives.
