Life

My Aunt Martha Watts, 69, passed away on Wednesday, June 16, 2010, in the IHC Hospital in Salt Lake City following heart surgery. She was a fighter. She had battled bad health for 30 years. She knew the end to this life was coming but she didn't want to quit. She had a strong belief in God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. She also said what she thought and didn't mince words.
My daughter, Jennica Sherrie Brocious, is 23 today, Thursday, June 17, 2010. She is a fighter. She doesn't quit. I know she has a strong belief in Heavenly Father, His Son Jesus Christ and in the Holy Ghost. She always says what she thinks and doesn't mince words, even though sometimes I really wish she would soften it.
I love these two women. They have been inspirational to me in the past few years. I think Aunt Martha is the reason I decided to add red to my hair. I try to be more outspoken like Jennica and not take crap from others.
Yesterday when I got the news my Aunt Martha had died, I knew I couldn't call Rod because he was at a funeral. The sister of a man in our ward had died this week. She was of the Baptist faith, but our LDS ward said they would provide the luncheon for the family after the funeral.
I really wanted to talk to my husband. But he's a bishop. I told the Lord I needed to talk to my husband, but the Lord said, "You're on your own."
I helped my Uncle Bob, Aunt Martha's husband, write a draft obiturary. He kept it short.
I hate writing obits.
