Mother's day was especially bittersweet this year as we celebrated our first one without Berta. We knew it would be a hard weekend and there was no getting around it, but it also was so nice to have Dan's family in town especially this weekend in particular. We wanted to celebrate Berta, but overall it was just a sad day. And we knew it would be, and we were so glad we could be together for it. From the beginning I have been in such awe of how Dan's family has been so supportive and loving of each other through one of the hardest times in their lives. And on a much much smaller scale I saw that this weekend as they literally flew / drove into town and helped us with probably 150 projects around the house (I'm not kidding when I say they pretty much worked with us the whole weekend except when we went to church and brunch - they even watched the kids while I did a photo session!). They were just the sweetest and we were so thankful they were here with us. It makes me sad we aren't all closer but we definitely cherished the times we are together :)
