Like I said last week I will be sharing some of my hubby's B&W pictures from over the past couple of years.
This photo was taken about 3 years ago at that famous California tourist destination! We had just moved from Oregon and were about 1 1/2 years into waiting for Ava. We had put everything on hold for awhile thinking we would be getting a referral soon. But we all know the answer to that story!
So we decided to surprise the kids and drive to CA and meet some great friends at Disneyland. The kids thought that we were going to visit Grandparents and had no idea their best friends would be there too.
Once they figured out we were going to Disneyland we decided to meet the other family at Joe's Crab shack next to the Hotel. They got there first and then we walked in, the kids were shocked to see their friends from Oregon in the same restaurant!!
We had a great 4 days together and hated to say goodbye again.
This was also a very sad time in our family because when we started our 2 day drive back home we found out the horrible news that my hubby's sister and my best friend had suddenly past away at 29 years old. We were on our way to the Grand Canyon and never made it. We drove straight home and jumped on a plane to Texas to help with the three young girls she left behind, while her hubby arranged the funeral. She suddenly got sick and past away within a couple days and we don't know what caused it.
Well I'm doing this post early in the morning before my kids get to school so I need to go get everyone on track and out the door! Have a wonderful Wednesday!!

I found myself captivated by your post and just like the contrast of the black and white--it was filled with the contrast of happiness and sadness.
I am so sorry for the profound and sudden loss you experienced. I pray that your family has helped one another through the never ending journey of grief and that you are blessed with many happy memories of your sister/best friend.
Thank you for sharing.

Great photo...I've always wanted to take the kids there. But I'm sure that vacation was bittersweet, with so many great memories but also ending in a tragedy you will not forget. Just reminds us of how short this life is, and to not take for granted each day the Lord blesses us with. Sorry for your loss!
Such a captivating photo but such a sad memory attached. I'm so sorry for such a loss. That must have been such a difficult time for all.
