Love Unconditionally

The events of the past week have made me realize a couple of things. Life is very short and you just don't know when you are going to see the person you love again. Nothing in this world can take the place of the ones you love and most important all the love in the world can not bring a loved one back to you.

Staying upset with someone you love is just not worth it. Life is too short to sweat the small stuff and in the grand scheme of life will what you are upset about really make you or break you? These are things you must consider when you are dealing with loved ones. I know for me it doesn't because the people I have in my life are very important to me and I love them more than any conflict I could possibly have with them.

My Children!

This post has been floating around in my head since the events of last weekend, you know what I am talking about... the passing of a loved one so unexpected. For us it was also in such a violent and senseless way. As I attended the funeral and felt nothing but the out pouring of love and adoration for my cousin and the heart wrenching pain of his family. I realized how fortunate I am to have such a loving family.

My extended family is spread out all across North America but that doesn't stop us from caring and loving each other. And when we do see them it is as if time has never passed. They are the same as I remember back in the day when we saw each other almost every weekend. When it comes to supporting each other we are there. That is what family does.

It is not that my family doesn't have its differences but loving people means you love people unconditionally even when you do not agree or have differences. Cherish the moments you have with your loved ones. Appreciate the time you have together because you never know when the last time will be. Live life to the fullest and live it without regrets!
