Whew! I am home. Flying standby at Christmas is an adventure! It took two and one-half days to make it to Salt Lake City. We landed Christmas morning at about 8:30 a.m. (their time) and it began to snow as soon as we got in the car. It then snowed 24 inches! Everybody thought I was nuts because I kept going out on the porch and standing in the blizzard, watching the beautiful snow flakes. It felt amazing. Going there was the absolute right thing to do. We left there this morning about 6:00 a.m., and after waiting all day in the Atlanta airport, were able to get on the last flight on the night back home. So, I am here - my dogs are so very happy. I must say they were very lovingly cared for in my absence by "Aunt Nancy." But I am getting an awful lot of slobbery kisses.
I thought about all of you on Christmas, when I had some quiet time. I spent some time by myself, looking out of the window at the majestic snow-covered mountains and felt God closer than ever. I had a long talk with him. I thanked him for all of you and I thanked him for the wonderful years I had with Mark.
It was very difficult to walk back in here tonight, not having that beautiful smiling face to greet me. I know in my heart that he went with me to Utah, though, so I am at peace.
My love to all of you. May 2009 be a good year for all of you. You remain in my heart everyday!

Much peace & love to you.

It sounds like you are finding the peace you need to move forward into the new year. You face so many new challenges, but I felt a lightness while reading your words.
I truly believe that you have Mark in your heart.
I wish that to continue for you in this new year.
While I knew it was the right thing for you to go, I had no idea when you left that taking care of the dogs was the right thing for ME to do.
You did me a huge favor, thank you.
I've come by way of Travis.
My mama and her granddaughter (my daughter) are also a healing duo.
I send you warm thoughts and prayers and look forward to reading Mark's story.
Thinking of you today, Rebecca.
Your trip to Utah sounds so wonderful. I would have been on that porch with you!! The snow must have been beautiful.
And how brave you are to navigate the airports on your own! Wow! Glad that you had a nice Christmas Rebecca.
