So right now Facebook does this awesome thing where they remind you what happened on this day a year ago, or two, or seven years ago. It's really fun, and you have the option to share it. I don't think I've ever shared one, but today one put me in tears.
This picture was taken the week Tessa started her mission papers. I hadn't completely come to terms with the idea, although I knew that that's what she was supposed to do. I was determined to be supportive and help her in any way I could. We spent this whole day together, just the two of us up in the mountains. We hardly crossed paths with anyone, and I wouldn't have had it any other way. We just talked and talked as we enjoyed being out in God's beautiful creations. I just wished the day would never end.
So, you can imagine what happened when I opened my Facebook this morning (which I rarely do before I leave the house). I immediately started bawling. All those emotions from that day came back. A year ago I honestly had no idea how hard it was going to be for me to have Tessa gone. I knew it would be hard, but wow! She was my workout partner, my grocery buddy, my conversation at dinner, my confidant, my best friend. It's definitely been another adjustment to be at school without her. Obviously I'm doing it, and it really is going well, it's just different. And I miss her a lot.
