I once again have been reminded just how blessed I am over the past month. It has been a very trying month for us both as an immediate family and as an extended family. We were already working through some things when I got word of my cousin's passing and I was starting to wonder how much God really thought I could handle. I kept reminding myself of Jeremiah 29:11 and telling myself that God has a reason for us going through everything. I may not understand it now and over the past few days even though things have settled down, I still try find myself trying to figure it all out. I'm not sure I ever will, but I know that God is in control and I need to be at peace with that. I have a family that loves me and I have a family that I love. Distance is never an excuse and while family members or loved ones may let you down, that's no excuse not to continue loving them and wanting the best for them. There is always someone you can find with a heartache worse than yours. So as a favorite quote of mine says "Dance like no one is watching, love like you'll never be hurt, sing like no one is listening and live like it's Heaven on Earth".

The "Hornsby Family" at breakfast one morning.
Those left behind... All the cousins on the Hornsby side, minus Dani :(
The older generations of cousins, again, minus Dani :(
