LoveWorksStill

I have found it to be true that when you sow the first of everything you have, the return comes in ways you may not even have been expecting. Today marks the first full day of a change in my family’s life. We are left without the life of my husband’s father. 

Imagine explaining that to a six year old girl who has an understanding beyond her years. I wish I could tell you that she didn’t understand and that she would never ask me questions about her PaPa. Though that may be the case for my three year old son, my daughter is truly going to miss every piece about him that she knew and loved. And just to think, something like Juicy Fruit could be a trigger for one person but it could be a bonding moment for another.

Of course, I didn’t want to start my blogging off on a sad note. Life has thrown so many curve balls at us that we just have to either get out of the way or get hit. This hit was painful. In spite of all of this, I get to say that the life that we are given is for a certain time. Death has always been something challenging for me to deal with. Writing and creating have always been my positive outlet. 

I will keep this post short by just asking you to take more time for your family. LoveWorksStill is about showing love by the actions that are done. No, I am not saying actions create rewards. However, I am saying actions create changes. Many of those changes are produced in the heart. We may not always have the right words. Our actions speak so much louder anyways. 

Thank you for allowing me to be open with you. I ask that you be open-minded with me as well. If you have dealt with a loss in that last year, let me know how you are coping with it. 

Remember, #loveworkswhenourwordsdont and your LoveWorksStill!
