My sister in law Diann died on my Friday morning. I'm not sure what day it was in Utah. I've been a little off my usual stride as I cry every once in a while and feel normal the next. But I've forgotten a few things - like bringing enough money for groceries. Luckily Eugene helped me out and I repaid him later.
In Africa there is a protocol for mourning and you are allowed to mourn. So on Friday I wore black and red and today I'm wearing black. I won't have to tell any of my friends that I am sad or that my relative has passed away because they will know.
My sorrow is more for my brother because I know how sad and lonely he is and will be. I will miss Diann and I know David will miss her acutely.
The last time I talked to her was on the cruise with my siblings around the British Isles. I am so very glad that David and Diann took especial care, time, and money to be with us. Diann told us stories about her knowledge of the miracles that God is sending to people. It is so very wonderful that we had that time together. Thanks go to God, Susie, and Laura. I am happy I got to see Diann when she was happy and joyful. I will miss her.
