A Family Gathering

September 19th, 2007

Last weekend we drove down to Utah for the funeral of my sister in law, Kim. She was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year. She and my brother Matthew have been living at her parent's house with their two small children. The funeral was a very draining experience, but as the weekend wore on I gained a measure of peace about the situation. It's hard to see my brother go through this, and difficult to know what I can do to help him.

All of my immediate family and many friends of the family attended the funeral in Kim's home town. It was amazing to see the entire church filled with her relatives and others who knew her.
