My mother-in-law passed away on June 6th, 2006 after her long battle with cancer. Things have been rapidly changing since then. My outlook on life has changed also. It’s too freakin’ short. There were times when I focused on doing things for myself, but all of a sudden I find myself looking out for everyone else again. It has really opened my eyes to just how quickly things can change. One minute someone is there, and the next minute they’re not. Sure, their stuff remains, but they are gone and leave a void behind. The day after Joy passed, my daughter went over to look in her room. She saw that her grandmother (Neenie) wasn’t there, and that was good enough for her.

I’m not really sure what the point of this post is but I figured I should probably post something about my mother-in-law’s passing. Some married people dislike their inlaws. I love mine like they are my own parents. I’m just thankful for the time I had with them, and the experiences my daughters were able to share with them. Rest in peace Joy. See you on the other side. Take care of Mikayla for us.
