Thank you to all who prayed for our family during this bitter sweet time. The funeral was beautiful, up lifting and encouraging. Praise God that our flight missed both storms, we were only delayed in Philadelphia because of the nearby airport closings. We had a wonderful time being with family and a handful of friends reminiscing and creating memories.

Do you ever wonder why sometimes you can't get over certain things? I say this because it's been several weeks now and I still can't believe my uncle is gone. Yes he is with the Lord and just the thought should be a comfort, however to be honest, it's not. I have dealt with a lot of death, my friends, grandmother, family so you would think I would be a pro at this. So what is it? why is it such a bother? Could it be the fact that is was so quick, didn't have time to prepare? Could it be that I didn't have a chance to spend those last weeks with him?(we talked several times a day). Could it be that I watched my son deal with his first death?

That fact is I never thought he would not be here. It's funny, I always knew one day my grammy would die, my mom would die and as a parent your fear is your child dying before you, but never once my uncles, I took it for granted.I can wait to call and talk to him tomorrow, oh I can ask him about that later, or I can wait say "I love you" the next time I see them. Funny thing is we don't have the assurance of tomorrow, we only have this moment.

The Bible says in Proverbs 27:1 "Boast not thyself of tomorrow for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth". Basically it means who says you will have tomorrow? You might not get a next time,What ever you need to do, to say, do it now.

If there is anyone that you need to say "I love you", "I'm sorry", or just want to clarify somethings or just spend time with, I encourage you to do it now. It may be the last time.
