june seems like such a blur to me.
it's already been a little over a month since my father-in-law passed away.
i feel like he has been in arizona this whole time.
anytime we do something new to the house, or just anything exciting goes on in our lives, i reach for my phone to text my father-in-law.
when nick and i got the keys to our house, i sent a picture of nick opening the door to my mother-in-law. nick instantly thought, "oh crap, we forgot to tell dad!"
these little reminders that he isn't here are painful.
but...
he is with us.
i constantly remind myself what my 8 year old nephew said to me the day of his funeral "you know what's neat? we'll always have grandpa with us, in our hearts."
i am so grateful for my eternal family and for the gospel. it has made this process easier for me.
there isn't a day that goes by that i don't think of my father-in-law. i miss him very much, but it is always so great to think about all the fun times i had with him.
nick and i have definitely felt all the love and support we have had from everyone over the past month, we love and appreciate you all so much.
