I know it's been a while since I posted. I am now recouping and regrouping since the death of my wonderful husband of 20 years--Darryl. He passed away on November 24, 2009 and I am still in disbelief that he is actually gone. I know that he is with Jesus and rejoicing in heaven but it's hard. I miss him and so do our children Leah, Whitney and Evan. I must say though "D" left his mark on the world. He connected with and impacted more people in his 44 years than most do in a lifetime. I honor his life, love and passion for souls. He loved people and always went out of his way to reach one more. I've learned a lot from him and I admit I wish I had appreciated all the little things that made him special just a bit more.
When those we love are here with us it's easy to take them for granted--assuming they'll always be there-- but tomorrow isn't promised to anyone. I was at a birthday celebration recently and a woman there was complaining about how annoyed she was that her husband wouldn't stop squeezing the toothpaste tube in the middle. Gosh I'd love to be saying that about "D' right now . Listen--enjoy who you love NOW while they are still here--living, loving and still breathing all around you. Let them squeeze the toothpaste tube in the middle and leave their bed messy once in a while--who cares? There's a song that says to "Love The One You're With". Sound advice if you ask me. Selah.
