Today was another part of the mourning process. Almost 2 months after my dear friend Becky passed away, we were able to bury her ashes at the local cemetery. I went to the florist and they helped me arrange the most beautiful arrangement for her grave. We picked out her favorite colors and flowers - she would have loved them.

I am so thankful that I got to spend these last years with her. Laughing, crying, singing, praying, sharing, and so much more. I have regrets, but I pray that she knows that the love I had for her was genuine and selfless. Becky was an amazing woman. Her hugs were so big and strong (even in her weakest days). I miss those so much! One of my regrets was that I didn't hug her enough. Since I started working as her caretaker, I saw her everyday, so the hugs didn't happen as much. But I am so thankful that I got to spend every day with her. Even though she was terminally ill, her spirits were always lifting. Her death was quick, she didn't suffer, we all thought she was going to live forever.
