I get lost in thought sometimes...

This has for some reason been ME these last few days...

Just so much going on and yet...

she creeps into my thoughts...

Moments when I think about her...

Moments when I think about all the wonderful adventures we shared together and apart.

I have spoken so many times on this here blog about a life well lived, how important it is to live each day to the absolute fullest, and she was the prime example of that for me, for my family, for all of us...

But there are days when I still wonder the "what ifs"

There are days when I tear up at thinking about her...

I come across a photo...

A song plays that reminds me...

Those damn cancer commercials...

you know the ones...

And it literally takes my breath away

That lump in my throat makes its presence known...

And I just can't.

There are days I just want to curl up...but I know she would not want me to do that.

She would want me to celebrate her.

She would want me to carry on her legacy.

She would want me to bring it....every day.

Perseverance.

Drive.

And by being compassionate.

And then the gratitude flows over me.

And I can feel her love flow all over...

And I just have to pass it on.
