We have been back from the funeral of Joe's brother, Alyn, for about a week. It's good to be back but different. Joe and I are both trying to deal with this senseless tragedy while we try to keep on keeping on.
The biggest lesson I've learned from this whole thing is that families are forever. I am uber grateful that I have a testimony that I will see Alyn again and that my family will be together past the end of this mortal life.
As families:
We can dress up and act silly.
We can get together and celebrate life's triumphs.
We can go camping, get dirty, play games, make memories,
and help each other out in emergencies.
We can love each other unconditionally.
We can live life to its fullest with no regrets.
I have always been one to write when I'm confused or lost or just want to work through something. I'm scared to live through this past week again but I know I need to heal and feel the loss of my brother in law so I can be there for my kids and my husband.
So, for the next little while my posts are going to be about the eight days the Beck Family spent together celebrating the life of one of the greatest people I know: Alyn Ronnie Beck.
