What really haunts me....

This picture.  

Out of all the pictures I have ever taken....

this is the one that haunts me.

It was taken in 2011.

We did not know Emma had epilepsy.

When you learn that you have epilepsy you are told to be careful of certain situations;

Swimming, bathing, climbing up high...

And I think of all the times Emma swam and bathed and climbed up high...

And I am ever so thankful that she did not get hurt....

or fall off of a 32 story building.

True anxiety thinking about this.

But it didn't happen.

But what if it did.

But it didn't.

God has taught me a lot of things.

But the greatest of these is love.

We may have political differences...

there may be tattoos.... ;o)

Some people may have big opinions...

and be rather dramatic.... 

*me

But with the help of God's love and His ways of forgiveness...

love deepens and relationships thrive.

I am keenly aware of how fragile life is.

Fragile and fleeting.

Let nothing come between you and your loved ones.

"We spend precious hours fearing the inevitable.  It would be wise to use that time adoring our families, cherishing our friends and living our lives."
