Today I am trying to figure out what to wear. It doesn’t matter if it is pretty, or stylish, or goes with my new killer heels. Today it only matters if it is black.
This afternoon I am going to a funeral. A daughter, a sister, an aunt, a friend, a wife, a Mommy to two little boys. Will they remember her? The light in her eyes, the lilt in her laugh. The way she fought.
Cancer never killed her spirit.
Remember when 38 sounded old….
Go now. Get off your computers. Go hug your children and call your sister. Forgive old hurts, let go of the stress and be thankful for every annoyance, every tear, every tiny smile.
Try today to enjoy a moment….and be thankful that you will have many more.
St. Theresa’s Prayer
May today there be peace within.
May you trust that you are exactly
where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are
born of faith in yourself and others.
May you use the gifts that you have received,
and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content with yourself
just the way you are.
Let this knowledge settle into your bones,
and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.
It is there for each and every one of us.

Hugs…..
Hugs to you during this hard time. Everything you said is right. Too young, too sad.
so sorry. cancer has touched our family in great ways…my dad went triple digits on skin cancer surgeries this year…
Oh, no… I am so, so sorry, friend. I have tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat, and I am counting my blessings even more today. As soon as I get home from work, I’ll smother my boys in hugs and kisses.
Deepest condolences to your friend. That is way too young, that is way too brutal, that is just wrong. And I’m so sorry. Huge hugs to you. xoxo
My biggest bloggy hugs to you. A friend recently lost his very young sister in law (mother to two) as well. Cancer is hateful. Sending prayers and taking your prayer with me today. Getting off the computer, although my kids are 500 miles away until tomorrow when they come home from college and I am going to smother them with love!!!
So sorry for your loss.
So sorry about your loss. Those are the ones that just don’t seem fair…
Hugs to you.
I attended a viewing last night. So tragic.

i HATE it, and it breaks my heart for those little boys…
my prayers are with you.. and her family…
🙁 my condolences…
I know it must be hard and I pray for everyone who has been touched by her and loved her and I pray for her to be at peace.
That poem was beautiful and the weird thing is I got that poem about a day ago in my inbox of one of my e-mail addresses from a friend!…
It’s true, let go of any resentment, or hostility that we have for a loved one because what we have on earth is only time and it can fly by us.
Live Laugh and Love all of those around you, because what that have done wrong in their life is not who they are and they deserve to be treated with love and respect.
(K) try to enjoy your day modern mom because she would not want you to resent anything either. She would want you to be happy just as she is because now she really knows all about the importances in life! xoxoxxox
Aw, sorry to hear about your friend…so very sad.
And thanks for the reminder to be in the HERE and NOW…it’s all we have.

Thinking of you and especially that heartbroken family on this tough, tough day. 🙁
Oh I am sorry. I totally agree that we should let the people we love know what they mean to us. Cancer is such a hateful disease.

we have to very thankful that we are alive and can go on everyday.
we have problems and trials along the way but it’s part of life.
so live life to the fullest!
God bless!
After the recent and very sudden death of my own mom I know how important it is to truly treat each day as your last and never take anything for granted. Thinking of you today….sorry for the loss of your friend. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.
Sorry for the loss. I am definitely gonna keep this in my mind all day.
