First Day at Church

March 16 at 11:09pm

Today has been a wonderful day and I am completely exhausted. It was not without its moments of grief but I did feel incredibly uplifted. Church went perfectly with the announcement of Addison's birth, death, and funeral. I cannot begin to express my thanks to those who showed such strength in being able to give talks, especially Brother Hoskisson( Tina Hunsaker Hoskisson, it won't let me tag him for some reason). We spent the evening with our families of which I had not seen since Wednesday in the hospital. I am so thankful to them and you all for allowing me to grieve in the way I need without judgment or pressure. I am looking forward to the funeral tomorrow. To seeing my little girl again and getting to see all those she has touched. Again, all are welcome to attend regardless if you have met us or not. The viewing will be from 12-1:30 with a funeral service at 2 at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. 1150 Cole Dr, Lilburn, Ga 30047. I look forward to continuing to tell you all about Addison as you ask me questions about her and what happened. I will never get tired of talking about her. Good night all. Pray that I sleep all the way through the night.

Addison's Mommy.
