Krispy Kreme Dream

I was telling my niece Kelsey about my Krispy Kreme dream I had and it sparked her to share some sweet memories with her mom and some signs she's gotten from her recently.  As we were texting,  I caught Kelsey's time she always sees (7:23) and now I do too.  It's so special that we both receive her signs and that we cans share it with each other.   

Memories

There is something about this picture and quote that softens my heart.

It's okay that people and things change. That is life and change is what makes memories. I am so grateful for my memories. Through them I cherish the loving times and know that I have gained wisdom through the trying times. I leave painful memories where they belong, in the past, but I take what I learned from them and carry that message with me to share to those in need. This is a pure passion I have.

I believe with my whole heart:
"Knowledge is learned and Wisdom is Experienced and the true meaning of life is to develop our soul and help others discover theirs"

Spirit Lives On

When Someone Dies, their Spirit Lives on in Us!

We can't hug them or see them with our eyes.

But we can still feel them in our hearts.

That brings me comfort.

I hope it does for you, too...

When we love someone,they become an indelible force in our lives, even after they're gone.

We remember the way they told a joke, wore their hair, and walked into a room.

The littlest things will trigger memories of the sound of their voice, their scent, the times we spent with them.

We recall how they dealt with hard situations when we are faced with the same things.

We think about them for no reason at all:

What would they say right now?

We will always wonder: are they watching over us?

Do they know how much we miss them?

Even though we'll never see loved ones who've passed on walk through the front door again,

I hope you can find peace with the knowledge that you'll always have a part of them with you.

When we love someone,Their spirit lives forever in our hearts.

HAPPY FATHERS DAY

I came across this picture of a Memory to Cherish.... lil brother David, me and our DAD David going to an Astros game.

We love you dear dad and are so grateful for the time we had with you! You instilled unconditional love, inspiration and encouragement to be the best we could be! We are who we are because of you ~ thank you dear dad! We know you are always near ~ with Mary by your side and loving us from above!

Our dad loved California and loved parades!

These pictures and his painting are cherished timepieces!

Make Every moment Cherishable

Pictures, videos, recordings....... "captured"time and words of love to all those that mean the world to us! Make them, keep them and cherish them. With these, it helps to heal when we need it. Treat each day as if it were you last. Just love with your whole heart & don't hold back. Why hold back? What's there to lose?

I lost my dad suddenly & I lost my sister tragically. That is enough for me! I am fortunate to have been taught to love the way I described above. My dad used to record his calls with Grandma and I didn't understand back then, but i do now.

My dad would hug me so hard everytime I walked out the door. It was a hug to remember. (eventually I learned to not wear big earrings with my dad because he would hug so hard the post would poke me hard behind my ear). What I would give for that hug today.

I recorded a couple conversations with Mary - they are on my phone. I listen to her sweet lil voice every now and then and it brings me love. She had a voice of an angel. I miss you dear Mary....

This blog is my place to Cherish these Memories! I love that it is here and I love that I can share it with you! I know Mary receives these blogs of love ~ she has acknowledged it to me!
