After many months of trying to make plans and plans falling through, we finally made it to Grand Junction to visit my sister, brother in law, great niece and great nephew!
Getting my mom there was a challenge due to her health and battle with lung cancer and my sister is fighting breast cancer. She has had several surgeries and a ton of chemo treatments. This summer, she will be facing radiation M-F for six weeks!
I had this yard sign made for her, because she has always been Super Deb but needs a break! It is time for people to be there for her and they have been!This was a low-key, enjoyable visit as we all 
sat out on my sister’s famous back patio, amidst her incredible garden of flowers and vegetables.
Being there without my brother was extremely hard on us all. We went to his grave site and bawled in devastation. This was the first time we had seen the bench my sister designed and it was breath-taking and the most amazing memorial I have ever laid eyes on. It was incredible!
Jim,
I looked for you at home.
I looked for you at your grave.
But you are not there.
Where you stood beside me
and where you loved me,
there is a giant hole.
I wish you were in my arms.
But I rejoice that you are with Jesus
… and you are in my heart.
I love you Big Brudder!! My life is not the same without you.
You are incredible and continue to amaze and inspire me – as well as others, I am certain of it. Thanks for sharing your heart with us.
Thank you, Teresa!!!
It’s heartbreaking what your entire family is going through. I’m so sorry.
Thank you, Teresa! It has been so hard! Especially with being isolated from other family and friends and trying to deal with it alone.
