I won't take a long time on this post because my heart is still too tender after only 30 years. But 30 years ago today my life changed, as well as the lives of my dad and sisters. When I look back and remember all the events of that day, I remember the Lord's tender mercy of having my little one-year-old daughter asleep so she didn't go riding with her father on the corn truck. The truck filled with corn rolled over at the side of the road. Back in those days children weren't required to be belted in, so I am sure she would have been standing up on the seat and would have been hurt very badly. As it was, Garth was spared any serious injury. Which is a great blessing because of the other events that took place later that day. I am thankful that I didn't lose my husband and daughter that day. It was a sad enough day without added tragedy.
I miss my mom. It doesn't get easier, you just get used to a new normal.

I am not really sure what to say, but I wanted to comment. I thought your posting was beautiful. I am always surprised that the lord doesn't give us more than we can handle, and amazed at what he thinks we are capable of taking on! Thanks for sharing something so close to your heart :)
I know what you mean about it never getting easier. I miss my Mom and Dad every day. It is such a strange feeling knowing that you don't have anyone here upon this earth to turn to. Who loves you and will listen to you and not judge you. Our husbands help but it still isn't the same. They are the first people that you want to share good news with and also the first people you turn to in hours of need. But we do go on with our lives and I just tell myself that they are together and are happy and I will be able to see them again.
Love you
I thought that was beautiful and thankful that she has left a great legacy of love. Thinking of you today.
I'm glad I was sleeping that day too.
