Some of you may have seen my post on Facebook/Instagram Friday, but I wanted to post here as well that my beautiful mother-in-law Nan died last week. It’s a difficult loss for our family, as she was such a rock for all of us. We all had some time to prepare for this, though I’ve found over the course of the past few days that nothing really prepares you for losing someone who is so much a part of the fabric of your family’s daily life.
Fortunately, we have a deep well of memories on which to draw. Nan was always there, ever-present, over the course of my life with Ladd—and my kids hardly saw any dividing line between our house and hers, they were in and out so much. She was a quiet, steady force and lived a faith-filled life. She loved her family.
I see a little bit of each of my children (and my niece and nephew) in her.
As we prepare to honor her late this week, we’re inhaling all the old photos, each of which help tell the story of a life well lived.
Thank you for your kindness and prayers, especially for Ladd, Tim, and their dad. They will feel the loss most of all and my heart aches for them.
Life is beautiful, and today I’m giving thanks for beautiful Nan—my mother-in-law, my husband’s mom, my children’s grandmother, my friend. She truly was magnificent!
