These women…

No matter the circumstances or the time that passes these two have been amazing…always there, always loving and supportive.

I wish I lived closer…I wish I could be there for all of the important moments. I don’t. But…it doesn’t matter. We are always there when we need each other, regardless the circumstances.

Love knows no boundaries…and these two prove that.

Blessings.

Sunday

Traveling to NW Arkansas for a memorial service, and it has been thirteen years since Carmen was here.

This was a wonderful moment in our travels yesterday. Twelve hours in a car, to attend a service for essentially my little brother has been difficult to say the least.

He would be turning 50 the 24th of this month. Far to young to be gone. Tony was fun, engaging, strong minded, mean, and loving. I will miss him something fierce.

We were out of touch for about fifteen years, but have been talking every couple of weeks recently.

Life is short. I am grateful I knew him and that he was a part of my life.

See you on the other side cowboy. I love you.

Blessings.

Never

2011_sept_(c)amydreher_4420

(Copied from Facebook last year – not sure who originated the post.)

On this day… 18 years ago 246 people went to sleep in preparation for their morning flights. 2,606 people went to sleep in preparation for work the next morning. 343 firefighters went to sleep in preparation for their morning shift. 60 police officers went to sleep in preparation for morning patrol. 8 paramedics went to sleep in preparation for the morning shift of saving lives. None of them saw past 10:00 am Sept 11, 2001. In one single moment life may never be the same. As you live and enjoy the breaths you take today, tonight before you go to sleep in preparation for your life tomorrow, kiss the ones you love, snuggle a little tighter, and never take one second of your life for granted.

Never forget.

Sunday Thoughts

I had dinner with a precious friend one night last week, and we discussed our journeys. She had been asked why she doesn’t share her journey?  What is hers? Is it God’s chosen purpose?  She was conflicted because she doesn’t want to reflect on the past.  She is done with it, and chooses to share it privately.  I told her that she didn’t have to share it.  It can be hers, Gods, and no one else.

We chose who to share that story with, and who to confide in. He brings people in our path to love, hate and grow, and maybe even someday share that experience with others.  I think we have lots of journeys. The journey of friends, school, work, weight, hobbies, marriage, divorce, family, children, and all of it can be a journey. All of these stories are for God’s purpose.  I believe that He uses our daily experiences to show Him through us.  His grace.  We all have battles going on.  We chose the path to take…chose the journey.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”  —Jeremiah 29:11
