I will say that this is not something that I would have expected to be among the firsts this year, but, like so many of the other firsts, there's been so much to take away from it.
[For those of you who don't know, the husband of a coworker was in a fatal car accident last week. His funeral was today.]
God was so present today, though, in so many different ways....just as He has been since last week, before then, and will continue to be. What a comforting thing to know.
And it is so, so apparent that it's a wonderful blessing to be here.
There are just a few things that I do need to say now...
Don't be afraid to say "I love you" too much -- you can't.
Don't be afraid to hug too long -- impossible.
Don't be afraid to be a little extra silly -- it helps.
Don't be afraid to get a little uncomfortable or selfless to help someone -- they need it.
Don't let fear stop you from living.
Live each day like it's your last because you really and truly never know when God will call you home.

I read about this article from the last blog. You gave me a new favorite kid quote, "Why is she crying? He's with Jesus now." And yes your co-worker has another angel watching over her. Life is not easy but there is comfort in know that this is not our final destination. We are meant to love each other while we are here in the best way we are capable in doing. Hopefully learning how to love others in the way they need as time goes on if we are lucky enough to have that time. Loving you with my thoughts and prayers.
