For the past month we have been trying to keep busy- running to ball games and other events and just grabbing supper on the run or at a restaurant. Tonight was the first time in a long time that we actually cooked dinner and sat down at the table to eat- something we always looked forward to doing before but sometimes took for granted. Tonight though, sitting at our table for four with one chair empty, was a sad reminder again of how a part of "us" is gone.
Note to self- Take time to sit down as a family for a meal and NEVER take it for granted!
Something we all need to remind ourselves. Hugs

I pray that as you move through the grieving process, first and foremost God gives your hearts and minds peace....but also that, at some point, you'll be able to sit around your table and smile while remembering. yet laugh and make new memories.
ReplyDeleteSomething so simple yet so difficult to do.
ReplyDeleteWhen we get so "busy" that sitting down to
dinner becomes a task is really sad. Our
time together is so short we need to remember
what is truly important and what could wait
till later.
So True!
ReplyDeleteThinking about all of you on a daily basis.
