Love Deeply

Thinking of my mom these past few days. Missing her. Longing to hear her voice again. My dad, too. It's been fourteen years since Dad left this earth for his heavenly home and thirteen years since Mom went. Twelve years since Chris's mom arrived in heaven. But some days it's as fresh as yesterday. When those tears and emotions start to flow, I try to be thankful. I'm convinced it wouldn't hurt so much if I didn't love them so much. The grieving becomes an old friend.

So, love deeply those around you. The risk of hurt is greater, but it's worth it. Tell your loved ones... Tell your friends... how much they mean to you. Invest in their lives and let them enrich yours.
