As many of you know my oldest sister Erin passed away this January. As a family we went this last Sunday to visit her grave, her gravestone was just placed last week and it was the first time that all of the siblings were together again since her funeral.I just want to take a moment to share with all of you just how much I love my sister Erin.
I know that for a very long time Erin and I didn't get along, but these past few months without her have been some of the hardest of my life, there is not a day that goes by that I don't think about her. The last few months of her life will always be cherished, I gave birth to Carter right before her last surgery and I will never forget that she didn't want to tell me she was having surgery because she didn't want to take away from my moment. Erin was an amazing person, she showed love and acceptance to everyone. She was a great friend, sister and aunt to Carter and I will forever miss her. I loved her and know I never showed her enough, but I hope somehow she knows just how much I care about her.

What a great post, Care. It was SO fun to be up there with you all this summer. I cried for like 10 minutes after we left. I wonder if we will end up in Logan, but then you guys would probably move! ;) We talk about Carter non stop around here. We miss him so much! Thanks for always hanging out with us and letting us love on your little man. We love you guys to death!
