Bittersweet Day

I felt too weak to attend church today, but had I been there, I would have heard my name called in Sacrament meeting.  I was officially released from the Primary Presidency as the 2nd counselor. After months of praying about it, passing my responsibilities to others and attempting to suppress the immense guilt I feel because I just can't do everything right now, I finally asked to be released the weekend I was admitted to the hospital. 

I felt really good about a certain person being called in my place, so I mentioned her to Laurel (Primary Prez) and to my delight, she received a confirmation that this was the right person and (I think) today she was called.  She is amazing and will do a SUPER job.  

So, this is bittersweet because I have been in the Primary for 11 years straight, with the exception of one year when we first moved to this ward.  How am I supposed to go sit in Relief Society?  Won't it be too quiet, too serious?  No, I'm actually excited about it....it's been way too long.  Technically, I've never really attended RS for any extended period of time since I sat with my boys a lot even when I wasn't in Primary.  I'm just so comfortable in there.  But it's time...time to move on, time to refill my cup, time to let my boys attend Primary without Mom. :-)
