"Don't cry because it's over; smile because it happened." ~ Dr. Suess
After Jeff died, I had this quote printed in vinyl to stick above my bed to remind me just how 'lucky' I am.I read it in the hard moments when the kids are in bed, the phone hasn't rung in two days and my poor-me's are flowing.
It reminds me that I'm lucky. We're lucky. Everyone of us who were touched by Jeff's existence is lucky.
He wasn't 'perfect'. He was FAR from a saint. But still, thoughts and memories of him make me smile. And his ability to laugh was second to none.
I got to share his life, his laughter, his love.....And I'm lucky for it.

::cry:: It's hard to sit in the moment and suck up the positive. It's hard to look at the 'now' as the memories of tomorrow. You're SO right, though. You're incredibly lucky, we all are. XOXO
