"Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Forget about those who don't. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would most likely be worth it." --Harvey MacKay
I came across this quote this morning and the timing could not have been better! This week has been an emotional roller coaster. It started with a hangover of the reminder of loss - this past weekend was the 6 month anniversary of my dad's passing and should have been his 63rd birthday on Sunday. This week will end with the reminder of hope and life - my husband's daughter (who I do like to claim as my own - I have had the privilege of her being in my life since she was 4 years old;) will be graduating from college on Saturday and my husband's son (who I also like to claim as my own since he came into my life while he was still in diapers;) will be wrapping up his junior year of college and leaving for his summer internship in Detroit, Michigan.
I am reminded to stay focused on what is important, live life with no regrets and the hard times pay off - don't miss the celebration!
I love you Brandi, I am so grateful to have you in my life. You amaze me with your strength, continuous drive and work ethic. Over the past year you have faced so many challenges and got through them with grace. Your ability to stay positive is admirable.
