Love is strong…

During my days with our four beautiful children, we are busy with school and sports, making new memories with them. My life is full and I am grateful. These words I write every so often are my dedication to Connor Cunningham​. He was a light in this world that can sometimes be extremely dark. I look up at the sky each day and thank God for giving him to us, even if for only a short while.

I realize that it has been a year and most others have moved on in life. Because he was so memorable, I’m sure you are not forgetting him. 😀 However, as his mother, I feel this unquenchable desire to keep him alive through my memories, many that you have no knowledge of. As a busy mom with active children this is my way of expressing my love for him. My love for him that is as strong today as it ever was. I still wake each day wishing to speak with him.  I am sure others that have lost a loved one will understand.

I think about how blessed our lives have been with our children each day. It takes the saying…stop and smell the roses in life…much deeper than I knew, before he left us. No matter how busy you are in your lives with school, career, sports, driving here and there with children, always remember these times are temporary. Enjoy them to the fullest, even when they seem overwhelming at times. When you want time alone and are thinking.. if I only had a few minutes to myself or even to shower, remember…this to shall pass. Enjoy your family and each day to the fullest. It is easier to say than to do. Deeply breathe in today and all that it has to offer you. Walk outside, look up and be happy!
