What is...

-

What is hope?

Hope is expecting the best possible outcome.

What is faith?

Faith is knowing whatever happens is meant to be.

What is love?

Doing everything you can to make sure someone else is happy because that makes you happy.  Love almost seems like sacrifice.  And in a way, they are one and the same.  

Love can also be, no matter how selfish you are,  humbling.   Putting someone else's needs above yours.   Whether a partner or your kids.

Sometimes love is letting go of a toxic situation.  Because you love the idea of something so much and pour years of yourself into an ideal that could never be.

Love can be taking your fears,  troubles, insecurities, and stress and hiding it away just so someone can deal with theirs.  You do that hoping and having faith that when it's said and done, they find their way back to you.  Knowing while it's hard on you, it's harder on them.

In the end, all 3 are intertwined.  And with all 3, definitions can vary person to person.  You have to look deep inside, inside your heart of hearts to know the answer.

To Kameron, Taylor, Colt, my angel and my princess, know I love you even when I don't see you.   Always on my mind.  Always in my heart.  ❤

The aftermath...

*Just a disclaimer here.  If I use your name, and you don't want me to, drop me a private line either on text or facebook.  I'll change the names of the innocent, so to speak.  Also, I use this as a forum for my thoughts in my mind.  Sometimes it takes minutes to do a blog, sometimes hours, and sometimes days.  While I might clean up the sentences and grammar to look acceptable, they are 100% of my raw emotions and feelings.  Yes, that might be too strong for some, but I'm not catering to anyone.  Yes, I appreciate feedback and advice.  If it goes with what I'm trying to do, I might even take it.* Last night, was the Memorial Candlelight service at Good Samaritan.  It was, quite frankly, an emotional, sad, happy, crazy draining night.  It continues the road that we started on February 1, 2012.  One I never thought possible, that I never thought we would survive, and thanks to people like Mary Radatovich, we are slowly pulling through.  With her, and our fellow group

The new normal.

While I'm sure it's oh so hilarious, this does NOT refer to the television show. I've been searching for that lately.  Online, various websites, magazines, internally.  Normal is a relative term.  What's normal to someone is totally against the grain for someone else.  What is normal, however, for a grieving family.  Is it the guilt a mother feels for failing to protect her child?  Is the feeling an older brother got for being jealous, or thinking it's his fault for getting mommy upset, that his sister went to heaven?  Is it the family pet, knowing that there's an emotional need in the family, tries to fill it by being by someone's side? Perhaps it's the overwhelming feeling to fill and fulfill every waking moment of the ones left behind with memories and good times.  For some, it's the random emotions striking you when you see a christmas ornament in a store.  A song on the radio, which turns the faucet on of your eyes.  Is it feeling your oats

Thank you Just remember, your opinions are more than welcome, good and bad.  They are, as a matter of fact, appreciated because it helps me get better, or focus on what I need to improve on. On a serious note, especially with #8.  Those who know me, or just found this blog, or read it because I shamelessly plug (Again, thank you) know my family suffere
