This last Friday, I didn't get any files to transcribe. I thought that was a blessing for working my fingers off to try to catch up the two days before. I had no idea what a blessing it was. While I was still finishing up some work stuff, I got a call from my mom letting me know that my cousin, Sarah, had passed away. Shocked is the best word to describe how I felt. She would have been 28 next month and leaves behind an almost three year old, with no dad really in the picture.
Because I didn't have any work, Mom and I were able to leave within a few hours to go up to Seattle. The time there was exhausting, but I'm glad I could go.
There are so many sad things about this event. In addition, Sarah's funeral will be one day short of three months since Grandma passed. That's still so fresh. I'm grateful that Sarah and Gram are together--that Sarah could be greeted by someone she knows well, loves, and doesn't doubt for a second loves her.
We know that there's something to learn and get out of this. Now, it's just figuring that out.
