Sometimes I think we become wrapped up in our daily schedule. I, especially, get caught up in school work, job work, house work, relationship work, etc., etc. I hate to admit it but I take my family and the people that I love for granted and just assume that they are going to be around forever. I don't need to tell my parents how grateful I am for them or tell Jake how deeply I love him because I can always say those things tomorrow.
Last night my Aunt Debby passed away. It was sudden and unexpected and none of us saw it coming.
I am sad. I am sad that these things happen although I know they are part of Heavenly Father's plan and that they happen for a reason that we cannot comprehend. I am sad that it is in moments like these that I am shaken awake.
I am resolved to tell Jake everyday how much he means to me and that he is more important to me that anything else in the world. I am resolved to let my parents and my brother and sisters know that I am grateful for them and that they are my examples in life. I am resolved to be kinder, happier, and more grateful.
I love you Aunt Debby.

Oh Lauren, I'm so sorry to hear about your aunt. I think it's always harder when it's unexpected though it's never not hard. Let me know if there's anything I can do for you.
Thanks Jen!
I'm so sorry Lauren! There's never really anything anyone can say to make it easier- but know that we're keeping you and your family in our prayers.
I'm sorry about your Aunt, will you be able to go to her funeral? I love funerals for the fact that I feel like I get some closure, reflecting on their life. If you want to tell us more about her, I'd love to listen!
Love you, Lo-Lo.
