“I could only be grateful when I realized that I would rather have known you for a moment than never at all. I would rather endure this inexplicable pain of outliving you than to never have seen your face, spoken your name. I would rather be yours, and you be mine, regardless. Regardless of the sorrow, the sleepless nights, and the years I will walk this earth, carrying you in my heart.” ~Scribbles & Crumbs
I saw this quote today and had to share it with you. One of mine & Anthony's favorite movies is "It's a Wonderful Life!" We used to watch it together as a Christmas tradition. We could not imagine what our world would be like without our loved ones and the impact on each other's lives. But the unimaginable happened to me and to many parents I have met over these past 18 Christmas's since Anthony left this earth. It took me a few years after he passed to watch the movie once again. After many tissues and tears, I have come to realize the importance of his short life & my continued life, too. The impact that he has had on me, and many many others is immeasurable. This time of year brings me to the reflective moments of the experiences of the year(s) past and the hope for the months & year ahead.
My wish for you and yours is to connect with your loved ones deeper than in past experiences. Life is short (don't I know that) and life is beautiful, too! Enjoy your time with family and friends this holiday season and love deeper than ever before! You too can have a positive impact on and in the world we share together. Simple acts of kindness go a long way! Make it a great day and a magical year ahead!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year my friends!
