I feel as though I am beyond sad right now and it isn't even all about my grandmother passing. Yes, that makes me sad; she was an incredible person who was so strong - in mind, body and spirit. I don't believe in heaven or hell only that people are at peace once their time here on earth ends. Many people have different beliefs, which I think is great, because it is our differences that keep us together. I am sad because I can't be with my family right now, as I think I should be. Carsten sent me an email today letting me know how difficult he knows this is for me and how important family means to me. That email meant so much to me! Growing up I never really had many friends, but I always had my family. As an adult I feel so fortunate to have many friends and people who love me, while still maintaining a close connection with my family.
I spent much of today in tears, sadness for the loss of my grandmother, sadness over the lost of past friendships, relationships, and loves. But also sadness over the way we treat one another. I don't understand why people have to be mean, or make up things to other people. Our time with those around us is so short in the grand scheme of things. Why don't we make the most of it; let the petty stuff go, forgive people for mistakes made in the past and let's all just live, love and remember those who add so much to our lives. Think about the people in your life who you are grateful for. Please, tell them - it will make them feel good and you as well.
Thank you for reading this and for letting me share my life with you!
