Even thru loss we can gain.

Life has a way of becoming really straight up real in the matter of moments. It can suck the very breath of us right out without us having a clue what happened.

We can be ridin the tides one moment and crashed upon the rocks and suck under the next. It seems to take losing greatly to awaken us. To open our eyes. For us to understand fully and completely what life is truly all about. We are robbed of what could have been but are left with the seed of hope.

Hope to love more. Hope to understand. Hope to be kind. Hope to show compassion. Hope for a better tomorrow. Hope for strength. Hope we hold onto what truly counts...what truly matters....

I pray that in loss we are able to see the gift we gain...for each life and death holds lessons...and even if we don't want to know them...we are forced to know them.

May we be inspired to be more of the people we are meant to be...may we strive for happiness in all corners of life...may we find smiles upon our faces...may our laughter echo and fill a room...may we want more from life...may we still believe...still hope and still keep the faith...may we truly believe this world is more because they were here and not less because they are gone....in the end I think...no I know that is the best way to honor those we loss...its the greatest gift we could possibly ever give...to live the life we would have lived if they were still here with us...that our lives aren't less...that we aren't less as a person because they are gone...if anything we are more...because of their love...for even in death...in loss when we think we have been stripped...there are things we can gain...there is greatness we can still find...
