In loving memory of my dearest Aunt Becky.

It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone. Apart of us went with you, the day God took you home. If tears could build a stairway. and heartaches make a lane, we'd walk our way to heaven, and bring you back again. In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still, In our hearts you hold a place, No one could ever fill. I found this poem and the words stuck out to me like a neon light. February 11, 2016 my dearest Aunt Becky passed out of this life and made her way up heavens stairs. She battled breast and bone cancer for 10 long years, she was strong in her weakest moments and held on with all she could. I wanted to be there with her when she passed but I knew that emotionally I could not handle it. My parents along with my sister Courtney traveled down to be with her until her final moment. Yesterday when I got the call that she went on to see Jesus, my heart split into two. I cried for awhile until I got enough strength to get back to helping the youth group and some very special people from our church make truffles for our youth trip. The whole day I felt a deep sadness but as I talked with some church family and one of my friends I realized that everything was going to be okay. I'm so thankful that they were there for me. I realized she's in a much better place. How lucky she is to be with Jesus! There's always a reason for everything and I believe that this sad heartache and passing of Aunt Becky is going to bring my family closer than we've ever been. I believe that God has a plan for my family. We may not know yet but I believe one day we will look back on this moment and say ''Thank you God for showing us that even in our weakest moments, you give us the strength we need to carry on.'' Even though you can't hear me Aunt Becky. I love you and miss you soooooo very much. Save me a seat in heaven because that's where I'm going!
