With Grandma Mike in the hospital for such a scary reason it has my mind racing in circles. I realize how precious life is and how quickly it can be taken from you. My mom's story makes me want to be a better wife, mom, daughter, sister, aunt, niece, in-law, cousin, friend, neighbor, even stranger. I am still in a fog about what happened two weeks ago. 18 years ago when my dad died, my biggest fear became losing my mom. That. Almost. Happened. I have now learned to treasure every moment with the people I love. I love you, mom!
Sometimes when life seems hard, sad, or stressful, I like to just stop for a moment and find something happy or peaceful. This evening, Lexi and I were driving home and we noticed the beautiful sunset. I stopped so we could take a picture on my phone. When I look at the sky and it looks like this, it makes me think of the loved ones we have lost and are now in Heaven. Instead of feeling sadness, I feel comfort they are in their forever home in the arms of Jesus. I'm thankful to have to ability to remember and the faith to feel comfort. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone
