As you can imagine, I have caught myself several times today wanting to let Shiloh outside, wanting to feed her, or simply waiting to hear her toenails tapping on the hardwood floor (which is what I always heard when she walked down the hallway). Reflecting back on yesterday, I have to say even though it was an extremely emotional day and at times very difficult for the family it was definitely a day I will always cherish. I realized last night that yes, it was sad to say goodbye to a family member yesterday but in the same respect…it was so awesome to get to celebrate her life and to give my children the opportunity to learn a different perspective on death. AND, today…yes, a few tears were shed, and they wanted to tell all those who are close to us, but overall laughter, memories, and even jokes were told about Shiloh.
