Life is Fleeting
We knew it was coming.
We have known for quite a while.
But somehow, no one is ever ready when it arrives.
Yesterday we got word that Grandpa Luscious passed away.
This weekend will be full of memories and family.
I always find it a little funny/sad that people are so distant until there is a funeral where they catch up. I guess it is something to do with the realization that life is fragile. I will be meeting some of Jeffrey's cousins this weekend. I think I have only ever met a handful of them.
There really is nothing quite so humbling as a death to remind us of the fragility of life.
And so the cherishing of life is going to be intensified today.
Finger painting, cookie baking, and story reading are on the menu for today. For dinner there will be pizza and watermelon, salad and sparkling lemonade. Bedtime will be full of stories and hugs, and then Jeffrey and I will have a long cuddle in front of a movie.
As of yesterday, I have two new mottos: Joy in the Journey and Slow Down. More on those tomorrow.

I will keep you and the family in my prayers.

how beautiful it is...
lovely writing!
It's so true, people forget how fragile life is.
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. We have experienced many in the last few years and there are no easy words to help heal. We know they are in a better place, but we still miss them terribly.
Take care
A death makes us realize how short this life actually is and how much every moment counts! :)
Cheers!
Joy cometh in the morning.
Best to you and in sympathy for your loss.
