Priceless Gifts

 Time changes everything even when we don’t realize how much is different. Somethings can never go back to what they were no matter how much you wish it could. It changes daily before our eyes, but only when a person is gone do you suddenly become more aware of the difference each day becomes. I wish so badly for my best friend to be back here with me (yet I would never wish her back to suffer another day) selfishly my heart wants to pick up the phone and call her; I can hear her beautiful voice now, with a gentleness that I know there would be a smile on her face, she’d say “Hey” and I would just know by her tone she was happy to see my name pop up on caller id. Somedays she would be too sick to talk and I could quickly tell it was more than she could do for a time. I would try graciously to tell her to rest and call me back later if she felt better. Today I just wish I could get a moment of time back like many others I have learned once again the true values of life are not objects of any monetary gain nor is it the value of the almighty dollar everyone is trying to make. I know it takes money to live and I am the first to say you have to work. Yet there is no value for time ever, once it’s gone we are left with wishes. Wishing I had done this or stayed longer doing that or simply talked 5 more minutes. It can’t be done even though the hole in your heart is so painful: One must be broken for another to be healed. The giving of the most priceless gifts love, patience, kindness time yeah they don’t have a price tag. so don’t work too hard for that mighty Dollar some of your most valuable things are free.


XOXO,

Patti 😘

Simply Put, “You Can’”

 The Most Beautiful Writing I Have Done and The Truest Words I’ll Ever Speak I think this is worthy to read.  A very special couple that I had the true honor to meet last night pointed out somethings in these pictures that I had not given much thought to. Sometimes you just need a different prospective  to see what years of pain and heartache can sometimes erase from your memory. I remember this day like it was yesterday “My Beautiful Wedding Day” and I smile in my heart at what I see and years of what I have felt. Grief takes you through many emotional roller coasters giving you highs and lows that make you think your going to drown, In reality so does life. You will hit many highs an lows through a lifetime some will make you feel like your drowning in sorrow, others will make you think your walking on air. Grief actually is no different other than walking on this side of the road gives a whole new meaning to what that side does. It gives you the true desires of your he...

Reality. Sinks In

  There comes a time in life where you realize that you don't have to please everybody else just yourself. To be ok with the person you look at in the mirror, you go to bed at night and you wake up to each morning is set Heaven ready and ok with themselves is the time you finally realize "I done all I could do God". Maybe it wasn't the right choice for everyone involved, maybe you failed your children in ways that they will never understand. Someday their children won't understand either so you just know you did ok with what you did, made mistakes but at the end of the day ask yourself "Did anyone die"?, did it scar you so bad you can't go to work tomorrow? Good then carry on and you try to do better than I have failed to do. When you can lay the ball down and know you've chased that dream, did you win? I don't know I got side tracked 15 times trying to get to the finish line. Life, got in the way! Life held me down when I wanted to go, life ...

 If you have a chance to make things right today, I beg of you to do it. Tomorrow will never be promised us and today is not done. People expect only good to come to us, but good can always come through trials also. My husband and I are examples of just that. For those of you who may not know our story: On December 21, 2013 my husband developed the flu, and was very sick. I rushed him to the hospital the morning of the 22nd because I could not get his fever down (104.5) they treated him and said yes he has the flu. Home again we believed everything would get better with the Tamiflu. One week later he was still sick, and had a terrible cough, it was the weekend so not much we could do. On Sunday my daughter-in-law went into labor, so him not able to go I went for us both to welcome our new grandson baby Silas, born on Monday December 30, 2013 at 4:09 PM, love him so much and would never change my time of being in Labor and Delivery with my son and daughter-in-law. Precious moments t...
