| Thomas & Beth Ann |
I wanted to write a quick post about an amazing woman. Her name was Beth Ann Slick and she was my
sister in law. She married my brother
when they were very young and they raised three kids together. Beth Ann had one of the biggest hearts of
anyone I had ever known. She had room in
it for everyone, although she always spoke her mind and stood up for her loved
ones. She was so nice to me and treated
me just like I was a little sister. She
gave me love and affection that I never received from my own mother and was
seriously lacking in my life.
Two years ago she was very excited about us having a little
girl and gave us tons of baby stuff and even made a baby scrap book for Kaylee. Unfortunately she never got to see Kaylee,
because she passed away on Thanksgiving two years ago.
You know how they say you never truly appreciate someone
until they are gone? In this case it is
certainly true. I don’t think I ever
really realized what Beth Ann gave me and how much I loved her until after she
was gone.
So, now on Thanksgiving every year while I am remembering
what I am thankful for, I will also take the time to remember an amazing woman
who I loved dearly. I know that the
anniversary isn’t actually on Thanksgiving, but it will always be the day that
I remember her; her big heart, her love, her smile and her hugs.
RIP Beth Ann. You
left us far too soon.
