For Those We Miss

It never goes away. The hurt that is felt by all of us when people we love so much are taken and this huge void in our life remains. Here today and gone sometimes the same day and I guess you are supposed to "suck it up" and go on as if nothing happened as some will tell you. The loss is always devastating, and it forever changes everything about us. The visits, the phone calls, are gone. A mere memory. Did I dream all of this past? If I'm lucky I will remember all of the good times and the bad are not important.
What is important is to remember that who we are today is a direct link to all we have come in contact with our lives. They have given us perspectives, good and bad, and guided us on this path we call life.
God Bless Ma and Pa Haswell, Ma and Pa Sloan, brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles and cousins and friends and of course last but certainly not least all of our wonderful and beautiful animals that have graced our path. We miss you all so much but thank you all for being in our lives. WE LOVE YOU ALL !!!!!!!

A Very Good Day

It's my first Saturday after starting a new job this week and it feels good. A little stiff and sore from actually doing physical labor and it feels good. So, it's a very good day.
