We love you, Susie.

On Wednesday morning, Tuesday American time, I got the news that Susie, my stepmom, passed away. She had been fighting Cancer for over two years, and her battle finally came to an end. I called her two weeks ago from Korea to chat and catch up. We talked for over an hour about life and memories and Korea and how she was doing. It was really refreshing being able to chat, and I feel like I was able to get closure. I knew that her time was coming soon, but I didn't anticipate it being SO soon. I can find comfort in the fact that her faith was strong, and she's now in Heaven. I am so thankful that she had a relationship with God and that she is with Him in a MUCH better place!

I'm so blessed that I had such a close relationship with my stepmom. There are so many things I loved about Susie. The thing that I will remember most about her is her commitment to Jena and me. She called us her own and always treated us that way. I truly believe that God places people in our lives so we can form relationships with them. Through those relationships, we can build up, love, and encourage one another. My relationship with Susie is one that I will always cherish. Thank you, Susie, for being such a good person and for loving Jena and me. We will miss you so much, but we are so thankful for the 20 years we knew you. We love you, Susie.
