Here goes....

Okay, so I thought I would give this blogging thing a go. When I am in search of clarity and peace I often hit the keyboard to write out my thoughts. Right now, I need that clarity and peace, so I have decided to give this a try.

The other reason for trying this out is so that I can keep all my loved ones informed and be informed at the same time. After this crazy year that we have endured, I want to stay connected, NEED to stay connected with those I love.

Today finds my husband without parents, my children without their grandparents and myself without the love and support of my in-laws. It is a sad and scary place for us all to be. In my wildest dreams I would have never for seen this horrible scene that is playing out as our lives.

With the passing of my mother in law, we have learned a very valuable lesson, there isn't always a "do over" day. No matter how many times I have been told that we aren't guaranteed tomorrow, I could never clearly understand the impact of those words until sudden death impacted my family.

If you are reading this blog, you are loved by me and I want you to know how much I love you, because I can't afford to lose another opportunity to tell you that. My "do over" may not come and I may regret that I didn't tell you I loved you more often.
