Loving people and being loved in return is the single greatest feeling in the world.
It truly is.
But there is the reality that someday I will lose the people I love.
Death is an inevitable fact of life.
Some day my dad won't be around anymore to play basketball with me.
My mom won't be there to call when I just need to talk.
My grandma won't be there to have lunch with.
My siblings won't be there to make me laugh.
My husband will not be there to kiss me anymore.
This is the fact of life.
And if I allow myself to dwell on this fact, I am overcome with sadness and brokenness.
But I can also use it as inspiration.
Inspiration to live each day more in love with them than the day before.
Inspiration to not fight. To laugh. To focus on the now.
It is easier said than done.
It is a harsh reality, but I also have hope of the afterlife, a reuniting of those most dear to me in heaven.
And I know how blessed I am.
Many do not have as much to lose as I do. I have so much to lose because I am so blessed.
I am so in love and I am so loved.
