"You stand up for what you believe in, even if it gets you in the way of what others think..."

My photo
if i could use one word to describe my life SERENDIPITY seems to fit the space... i stumbled upon my husband during a time i shouldn't have and my story goes on from there... constantly falling or stumbling upon remarkable gifts and people who bring fortune to our lives... when we fall we learn and strive toward the next step.

to each of you...thank you~



“What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us;
what we have done for others
 and the world
remains and is immortal.”
Albert Pike


a heartfelt thank you to
 Each One

your sprinkles of
 l♥ve
kindness
well wishes
and
blessings
mean a great deal to my family and me


yesterday we celebrated the life of another
 who has left our world
who made his mark
and was ready to journey forth to another place

when i am in these moments
i am always left with a feeling...a thought

~how do you sum up ones life in a matter of minutes~

its impossible

years and years have gone by
memories and moments
trials and tribulations
laughter
joy

so much to remember

but

such little time to reflect



after the service
we went to visit
grandpa

eyes filled with tears
hearts aching
wishing one was still here


but to watch our wee littlest one
walk up and find his grandpa
without a fear
just wanting to touch him
filled our hearts
wiped away the saddness
and grief
the emptyness
gone

"grandpa's right here"

You've brought tears to my eyes. I remember how death was hidden from me when I was young. I was never allowed to say good-bye.

Tear jerker! I never got to know my grandparents. They died long before I was born. Mom had me at a late age. It had its benefits but also its downside. Stunning pictures <3 Blessings to you and yours

You have my heartfelt sympathy for the loss of your loved one.

The photo of your wee little one at the wall of remembrance filled my heart and eyes with tears.

We remember the best of times and the best of the person who has gone on before us.

I believe it is true, what we have done for others will last.

Love is a gift, a gift given to others , it will last.

Blessings.

souls are not lost. The departed live on in our hearts for as long as we need them. they gladly come back to speak to us whenever we need them, you just have to listen. Peace to you all.

Warmest wishes and blessings to you. I dreamt about my Grandmother the other night too. I was watching her on TV and crying because I missed her. We keep them here in our hearts forever though. Lots of happy memories to treasure.

my beliefs include many, constantly seeking knowledge, not needing one particular label that defines me nor trying to justify my thoughts to anyone else but me...this is my life and i am living it my way...bringing happiness to my inner soul.
