The Reason...

We made it to Idaho... I am sorry I haven't kept up with this blog. It has been a crazy whirlwind this year. In September we were told that they were going to end treatment for Cobi's mom, Robbie. We rushed out to Idaho to see her thinking it would be our last. We got to visit with her and the kids got to spend time with her. It was nice. We decided that we were going to move here as soon as our house sold. We sold and closed (a miracle in this market) and were able to arrive right before Thanksgiving. We got to spend a couple of weeks with Robbie before she passed away yesterday in the hospital. The kids are doing okay. Preston understands that Grandma went to Heaven to see Alexa. We went up to the hospital yesterday to see her at peace. It is strange being here in her home without her. She would want us to keep things as normal as possible for the kids. So I guess we will put up the Christmas tree and decorations to honor her memory. So this was the reason we moved here to spend time with Robbie knowing she didn't have much time, to take care of her husband and hope that having the kids around would give him a reason to smile. It is bitter sweet, She was suffering soooo much and now she is gone but isn't suffering. I am glad we are here and are able to help. It has been a rough year but we are definately here for a reason.
