Rowland’s brother, Graham, and his wife, Danea, were here for a few days this past week. What a wonderful time we had! We spent a lot of time just hanging out, visiting, and catching up on life. Since they left yesterday, I’ve had such a heaviness in my heart. I just love Danea so much and miss living close. She’s that person who has known me most of my life (and loves me anyway!) and helps me sort through all of my crazy thoughts and strange emotions! God definitely brought her at just the right time as I felt like He was dealing with me in a couple of areas of my life, and it was good to be able to talk through those with her. She often helps bring clarity to life - maybe I should start paying her as my counselor!!

Little Kitty just cried and cried when Aunt Danea left. She loves her aunt so much and can’t wait to make a trip to Little Rock to see her. Maybe we’ll go this Summer. Either way, Aunt Danea and Uncle Graham are weighing heavy on our hearts and on our tear ducts right now!
