I see my last post was over a year ago. On August 1, 2010....8-9-10....my father in law and his wife were in an accident that Joe, my father in law died as a result of his injuries. It was heart breaking and shocking to deal with. I had to turn to Heavenly Father many times to find the courage to make it through this test in my life. It was very difficult to witness the pain of my husband and also deal with my pain.
My testimony of the hearafter has grown as a result of this trial and heartache. Also the knowledge that Heavenly Father is there for us. My Savior is also my friend and my comfort. I know that he is ready and willing to take the burden from me. I only need to hand it to him. Sometimes, I have to give it to him again, because I have taken it from Him to carry on my own.
I also have to be conscious of my feelings toward the man that caused this accident. He was driving a semi at a high rate of speed and couldn't stop. Maybe there was something else that influenced him also. We are letting the attorney figure that out. We want to know what happened, as near to accurate as possible. We probably will never know all the truth, but there are questions unanswered that need to be answered.
On December 5, 2010 I also lost my Teddy Bear. He was my best buddy. My little maltese puppy. He was only 18 months, but he died of an incurable disease called GME. The disease attacks the the spinal chord and brain. It was very painful and he was only diagnosed with it for 10 days before he was in such pain that we had to put him to sleep. The only treatment was prednisone and the length of life was 1-4 weeks, with the quality of life very poor. I miss him, but I know he is happy now and I will see him again.
