MARCH 9 2007 - GRANDPA RAUSCH'S FUNERAL

Our hearts are broken. We unexpectedly lost Grandpa Rausch. How we miss him. Words can't express the feelings I am feeling right now. I miss him. I know God's plan...and I know that my parents are together again, but it doesn't seem to take the sting away. As I write this post, tears flood my eyes. I don't even know how to put into words the feelings in my heart. So I will simply add some tender photos and what I KNOW to be true: -God loves us and knows our every need. He will send comfort in unexpected but undeniable ways. I will forever cherish the personal revelation I received in our tiny town home the night we found out that Dad had passed away. I knew Heavenly Father was reminding me of the LIVING CHRIST and what HE did for us to make it possible for us to return to live together FOREVER. -I know I will see my parents again someday. -Though I hurt for my children, and what they will miss out on, I know they will feel their grandparents influence in their lives STILL...just from the other side of the veil. -Family is EVERYTHING. -Through Christ's Atonement, I can recieve the comfort I need. I will LEAN on HIM. -TOMORROW IS ONLY A DAY AWAY (Day's prior to finding out we lost Grandpa. Brooklyn had a terrible stomache bug...and we welcomed Tanis's new baby JESSICA home!!! We were going to bless her that Sunday and could not reach Dad to verify plans for Sunday)
