I Can Relate: Moving Without Mom

I saw this on my Facebook news feed. I just forgot who posted it but the shared photo came from today.com.

I shared this on my Tumblr account and I also want to share this here.

"When Ben Nunery and his wife Ali got married in 2009, they had just closed on their new house, so they took the opportunity to take their wedding photos in the empty home.  

Just four and a half years later, after Ali’s tragic death from cancer at at the age of 31 in 2011, Ben and his young daughter Olivia got ready to move to a new house, but they wanted to say goodbye to the old one. So they recreated these special photos from Ben and Ali’s wedding day, as a way to remember the happy times."

I can relate with this story because my sister-in-law also died when she was 38 years old due to cancer - nasopharyngeal cancer. Last Saturday (December 14) was her third Death Anniversary. It is too sad that she is not with us anymore. She left her two kids and my brother who is already working in Canada while the kids are living with my parents. I know it's hard for my brother and my nephew and niece to live without my sister-in-law. Everyone in the family still feels the pain of losing her. We still can't let go and move on. How I wish sister is still here savoring every success and happiness with us.
