Well, it’s been real.
A little over a month ago my grandmother {on my mom’s side} passed away, and exactly 1 month later my mom’s brother passed.
This past weekend we attended our dear friends wedding, a beautiful ceremony for two people we love dearly.
So I feel like I’ve been living in this roller coaster of emotions… happy, sad.
I chose a brightly colored dress for the wedding for a couple of reasons… 1) it’s still so ridiculously hot in California. I couldn’t even escape it up north, so summer colors for the win! and 2) I don’t usually do this color, so it was such a welcomed change.
Friday’s service for my uncle really had me thinking. I’d just seen him at my grandmother’s service and later that afternoon shared a lovely meal with him. Then, gone. I was thinking back and the last thing I remember was squeezing him tightly and telling him I loved him. I am so glad because sometimes I know we all get busy, hectic schedules, kids, family, lives… and I know I take for granted the next time will come around…
Please hug those you love every chance you get.
Excuse me if I’m feeling like the ratio of happy to sad is a bit out of balance. Life is really put into perspective sometimes… I cherish all the memories these days.
Hope your weekend has been full! xoxo
