Death/Remembrances
My cousin's mother-in-law just passed away at 59 from a 2 week battle with cancer. A man in my stake who was very well-known and loved died on Saturday of a heart attack. He was only in his early 60's. I attended the funeral for the mother-in-law, to support my cousin. So many wonderful things were said of Freda, and it really made me think. What kind of legacy will I leave behind, were I to be taken today? Would my kids stand up and say of their mother that I was ________, (everything I should be/they wanted me to be)? What will my gravestone read? Will I have taught them enough to be able to go on without me? Life is so short. 59/early 60's doesn't seem like enough years to make myself into the kind of person I want to be/need to be. Guess I'd better get working.

Seriously- this is so true. It totally makes you think about what you are doing in this life to make a difference- and what you are not doing! When Cort and I were driving to AZ, we were talking about what we wanted for our kids if something happened to us, but the truth is, some of the things we should be doing for them now! Great post! And great pics below of Ms Olivia with her band-aid!
