A cousin of mine said it best today, "It's times like these the world makes you appreciate what you have! And truly miss the things you lost!"
A very dear friend lost her father yesterday. Something that is still a full shock to me. He was a wonderful man, and was another parent to me growing up. My friend has so much still to do in life, including having a baby within the next month, that her dad won't be able to be a part of.
The last 24hrs have been spent in tears, or almost tears. I am finding it difficult to focus on anything other than this, and find that my eyes are constantly glassy with tears. It was a loss that I was not prepared for, although, are we ever truly prepared for a loss like this??
I am so thankful for everything that I have, and for all the people who are in my life, and this recent loss made me absolutely miss the things and people I have lost.
Never miss the chance to tell someone you care about, how you feel. You just never know ...
My heart goes out to those who have been affected by loss
