One Year After

Jan 23, 2006 12:17

So today is the 23rd.
I remembered last night and mourned.
That means today is the one year anniversary since the day I held my mother in my arms while she took her last breath. A lot has changed since that day.
I've learned to express myself emotionally.
I've learned what it feels like to truly miss someone.
I've learned how to appreciate and be grateful for the little or lot I have.
I've learned how to love and what that really means.
I've learned what it feels like to be lost and empty in a familiar atmosphere.
I've learned how hard and important it really it to maintain friendships.

Life isnt about how successful you are or how much money you make...when everything boils down life is only about the the people you love and love you in return.
Love is underestimated but yet the most important and only thing we have in the end.
When youre laying on your death bed it no longer matters what youve done with your life, or how much money you made, or how many places you traveled or how popular you were...the only thing that matters is the love youve experienced though anyone and everyone close to you.

Honestly if you were on your on your death bed how many people would truly come to visit you?
Think about it. Probably not as many people as you thought. However many you think will....try cutting that in half. Keep your loved ones close and remind them that you love them because any day they could be taken away.

Despite all that I have lost in the last year and all of my new beginings I am happy. I have gained so much experience and understanding of the things around me for which I am grateful. I'm happier then I have ever been :)
