When It Rains, It Pours

     Today has been a very trying day, to say the least. My Grandpa Jerry has had a rough journey with Parkinson's for a while and he finally made his way home to heaven this morning. Instead of packing today, I spent the day in the company of my family. We all really needed that time together.
     I leave tomorrow for Omaha so I'll be ready for my early Monday morning flight. I should be more excited to go, but now I wish I could stay here in Nebraska for a while longer. Everything seems to hit you all at once; I'm nervous, I'm excited, I'm stressed, and now sad. This next week might be a little overwhelming, but I'm ready. I am so thankful to have friends and family who love and support me and now another angel to watch over me. I couldn't do this without any of you.

We love you.
