Brock and Leslie have taken great care of me. They have been helping me sort through Shaun's things. He was very sentimental. I had no idea the kinds of things he had saved. I was able to find this little gem though. This was tucked away in his missionary things. This is a magnet that the missionaries would give out with their phone number on it. This is yet another reminder of the sunshine he was and is.
After the funeral, and most of the family had gone home we did something special to finish up the evening. My mom had bought illuminates. We were able to write sweet messages full of love and light to put on the luminaries. We then placed them on Shaun's grave to usher in love and light as he began his life on the other side. Of course I'm sad for me, but I'm so much happier for him. He gets to return to his loving Heavenly Father. His family was waiting to greet him on the other side and we got to light his way there. Such a celebration of his life we had today. I felt more celebrating than sadness. I felt more blessings than burdens. He truely was an amazing man and an amazing husband, father, brother, son and friend. The brightness and joy he brought to my life and into the lives of those around him will never be forgotten. He truly was my sunshine. I know there will be constant reminders of him, and I will continue to celebrate him and celebrate his life. I love you Shaun.
Brock and Leslie have been coming over to help me go through things at my house. A big burden has been lifted there. I don't think they know how much I need this right now. I couldn't do things without them. Through this process we have been cleaning every room. Brock walked into the kitchen and he found this on the floor. We aren't sure how it got there but its a vaping liquid. That room was clean, and look at the flavor. Secret sunrise. I think Shaun's messing with us. Lol. It's nice to have reminders of him all around. I came home today to find that a cute family in my ward had done this to my front door. Feeling so loved. There has been a constant reminder to keep shining bright like the sun. This is the message that I posed in a family group page so that people could read my sunshine story. I don't believe that there are coincidences in life. I believe God, and Shaun are letting me know that they are all around me. I sure miss him.
Here are a few of the post that were trending on Facebook this morning upon hearing that my sweet husband Shaun has passed away.
I just wanted to personally thank all of those who helped and are helping by donating to this go fund me page. It has helped my family so much make it through this hard transition as a family. I'm feeling so blessed. Thank You All!
Basket Full of Sunshine! Just what the Dr ordered. A basket full of sunshine: I had to make a quick overnight trip home to repack and regroup. When I left hastily Monday to the ICU in SLC, I I hadn't planned on being away that long. I came home and my sweet sister-in-law Leslie had done my dishes and had washed all of Rylee's laundry so that it was ready to repack. You can't imagine the relief I felt. I was stressed just to leave Shaun's side but had to pack up Christmas and more clothes. Luckily its almost Christmas break so that I won't have to worry about work for a couple of weeks. While packing a couple of Ladies from my ward came over. They wanted to check up on me and they wanted to bring me the above gift. It was just what I needed. Love and light, and something bright. Such rays of sunshine these ladies are and to bring some to me was a welcomed blessing. I can tell I'm loved and that Heavenly Father is mindful of me. I made sure to paint my nails with some of the yellow nail polish so that I can keep a little sunshine with me where ever I go.
