How Lucky

As you probably saw in my previous post, I've been really struggling with the idea of loss lately. My family is still suffering through grief and sadness. That grief has really taken a toll on my thoughts. I consistently have nightmares about losing my loved ones. My head is full of "What will I do without her?" ... "I cannot live without him"  and "What if there was an accident?"  As I mentioned before, sometimes I think life would be better if I could just be alone. Better, easier, simpler. A life without "goodbye" sounds pretty perfect, right? Yeah. Part of me really wanted to believe that, but tonight I found this quote...

“How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.”
— A.A. Milne Winnie the Pooh

How beautiful. Honestly, I struggled to hold back my tears. I don't believe a single quote has ever been so close to my heart. Life alone would be free of goodbyes, but it would also be free of love.



How lucky.  

How blessed.  

How thankful.
