How Precious is Time

 How precious is time, there is no value to cherished memories. People wonder and sometimes ask why do you take so many pictures, this is just one small example to remind me how quickly time fades and things change in a blink of an eye. Top picture taken 2 years ago other one today, we didn’t know what would lie ahead for me (for us). The cross and bench area is a memorial area I started creating in Philip’s memory. Sometimes when your soulmate is cremated it can leave you with no place to go and ponder over days gone by, so I started creating this in his honor. I have a long way to go, but it will come just as sure as death will come to us all one day. When we are called away there will be things left undone for the day. List that will be left half finished, or words left unsaid, but I pray that there won’t be one picture I forgot to take to tell what will be to late to say and memories to hard to remember. Reminiscing days gone by are easier because I took the time with Philip over the years to snap that picture because I knew when my momma passed away, I didn’t have enough pictures to cherish her precious memory. Words left unsaid, heart shattered from the lose of her and the selfishness I felt inside without here her. I took advantage of every single day I was gifted with my mom without knowing one day it would be gone. In that instant when breathe leaves that body and a hole left that nothing can fill; pictures tell the story of days gone by. Memories fade as we get older, pictures only fade if you never take them. Today take a picture of your loved ones even if their not looking because I can tell you from my own personal experience; life does change, heartache does come, and memories do fade away. Pictures remind you through the grief journey of the laughter and beauty of the ones gone home. I hope I have said something that would encourage someone today to take  sweeter time to cherish what could be gone tomorrow. Laugh those amazing belly laughs, smile with a unconditional heart, give the free give of a picture and a word of kindness. Valuable’s don’t always cost a thing just someone to see the value in a gift. I love you all, snap that picture and smile for me. ❤️❤️

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...
