Today I Remember...


If tears could build a stairway,

And memories a lane,
I’d walk right up to Heaven
And bring you home again.

Ten years ago today, my Gido (grampa) passed away.
Even though I was only 5 years old at the time, all of my memories with him are very vivid. He was a very special man, and I miss him so much.

Also, today I found out that one of my very close guy friends lost their dad yesterday evening due to a heart attack. I found out today, from him, he was so strong about it, which truly inspires me. This really hit home for me, as I lost my uncle earlier this year from the same, unexpected cause. I'm keeping him, and his family in my prayers this week. I can't imagine the loss that they're feeling right now.

Loss of a family member, especially unexpectedly, really takes a toll on someone. It takes awhile for everything to kick in. For it to become real.

Today seemed to be a very emotional day. I pray that tomorrow will be better.
