and some days it is just a matter of getting through the best you can. Other days you are able to find beauty the takes your breath away. Sometimes though, this day will leave a mark.
July 24 is one of those days. Today is a normal day so far. I have taken my husband to Physical Therapy, gone to the office, had lunch and spent far too much time trying to find an important piece of paper. July 24, 1989 was the other kinds of a day. My brother, David, died suddenly at the age of 36 from a Pulmonary Embolism. We didn't see it coming at all and our world was changed forever. Through grief beyond all words I learned to Cherish what you have while you have it because God may bring you what your heart is longing for but you may lose some of your greatest riches you have now. I also learned that "things happen!!!!" and also "things happen." Don't let the waves be too high or too low. Keep your joy and peace at all times by trusting God, don't leave room for anything else. on July 24, 1989 a beautiful baby girl was born who became a close friend. 30 years later her baby girl was born on July 24. It only happens once. So, this day let it be as stupendous as it can be whether it is the routine, the big grief or the big joy let this day leave its mark as fully lived. |
