In the end, I am thankful.

Well, at around 2:45 a.m. on July 28, 2009, Aunt Cynthia passed...

It is hard. However, I am thankful to know that she's no longer in pain.

I am thankful that she was surrounded by family through this whole ordeal.

I am thankful that I made it home to see her one last time.

I am thankful to know that she is in a much better place.

I am thankful that my family has and will continue to grow together.

I am thankful for the new life that will come in just a few short months.
