Families are Forever

You know when you go away to your first year of college you have no idea what to expect! Hundreds of ideas are running through your mind... did I take the right classes... did I buy the right things... can I really do this... but most importantly my ROOMMATES will I like them? Lucky for me I got put with four of the greatest ladies in this whole world! We had so much fun with each other as you can see by this picture and it is only one of many! Of course living with four other people that you don't know can have it's fair share of arguments but we knew how to work them out! What I love most about these ladies is even though it has been six years since we lived together we are still there for one another which brings to me to the reason for this post.
This is Mia even though I was a slacker and never got around to go and actually meet her my heart still breaks for her family. Brooke one of my roommates who is to the right of me in the above picture is her sweet little mommy! Mia passed away on Saturday night unexpectedly she really was too perfect for this crazy world we live in. Even though I know that Mia is with her Heavenly Father my heart is still sad for my dear friend Brooke her husband Adam and her sweet little boy Jake. If you would like to read the full story in Brooke's own words go to my family and friends link and click on The Brandt Clan. Here is a poem I found that someone had left on there blog I thought it was a perfect finish to this post!

Jesus is she with you? I wonder every day, I sit and wonder why she's gone and why she could not stay. Every Part of me is empty I feel I can't go on but then I look to heaven and hear this beautiful song "Mommy I am with Him He holds me in his arms Whenever I am with him he keeps me safe and warm He Says you shouldn't worry I am safe and loved right here with all the other baby angels that passed within the years we have a special Place up here He thought that you should know Where the Blessed mother takes your place for now until you show." When I hear this precious little voice from the heaven above I know that all the angels Are showering her with love. For everyone that wants to hear their babies voice so innocent and sweet just close your eyes and begin to pray and embrace them in your sleep-Angela Gibson-
