Our hearts are heavy. Earlier this week my Aunt Jane died. I was able to sneak away on Sunday afternoon to visit Jane when Dean and Kathy were here and I'm so glad I did. She wasn't in any pain and was just starting some of the labored breathing. We were still able to talk though and it was such a special time. I had offered for my uncle to be able to get out of the house and he took me up on it. I feel good about it. I was able to tell her how I felt...that I loved her and I would miss her a lot. That I would see her again even if it wasn't as soon as I'd like. I know she is safe and at peace. I just wish it wasn't so. It's really strange and it doesn't feel real yet. Dan is doing her funeral today in Park Rapids. My Mom is staying with the kids (thank you!). She will be dearly missed. We will never forget her and keep her memory living on with all of our great stories about her. Love you Aunt Jane!
