Spending time with my family. As I stated in my previous blog my family is everything to me. Without them I wouldn't be where I am today. I wouldn't know what I know and I wouldn't be the person that I am without them. Each and every day I am so thankful that I have my husband, mom and two brothers still in my life. Even though I no longer have my dad and grandfather here to help guide me I feel them with me each and every day. I realized that when someone is alive and well you sometime's take for granted what they tried to tell or show you while you were growing up. When I was little I used to think that my dad and poppy would be here with me forever and I didn't think about how much time I actually had with them.
Now here I am;24 years old and wishing that I could rewind time and paid more attention to what they were trying to tell me. Sure I can recall the life lessons intertwined in their childhood stories that they would tell me, but at the time I just thought they were stories and didn't look at them as anything important. So now here we are, another holiday; the first time without my dad and going on the third year without my poppy. People tell you with time that things will get easier and the pain will slowly go away. Each and every day I'm reminded of them somehow, someway and I know that the pain won't go away, but the memories I made with them while they were here comfort me.
The world looks at Easter as a time to celebrate Christ or have a bunch of chocolate bunnies, but I've always viewed Easter as another holiday that I can spend time with my family. The people I love and the people who mean the most to me. Like I said when I was younger I took a lot of things for granted, but with time and age I've learned that you should live every day to the fullest and take everything and everyone in because you don't know how much longer you have with them. So hug your family just a little bit tighter this holiday...Happy Easter
