Today I drove to Baton Rouge to teach a class and I got to have lunch with my good friend Lacey on her birthday. Of course she had Oliver with her so I was so excited. He is the cutest and funniest 2 year old I have ever met. I can't wait to meet the new baby Sam when he finally gets here, but that won't be until May so I guess I'll have to wait a while. But anyway, it was so nice to spend a little time with them today.
On my way back to New Orleans, I was just driving and enjoying the music and "Finally Home" by Mercy Me came on the radio. If you don't know, that was the song that I sang at Aaron's funeral. I have only heard it a few times on the radio since the funeral and when I do hear it, I get choked up. As the song played, I felt the tears start to well up in my eyes and eventually spill over and run down my face. Even though time is supposed to heal all wounds, there will always be little reminders here and there that I've experienced great loss. Even though emotional triggers can be very difficult and sad to deal with, they can also be powerful reminders about what is really important in life.
This year I challenge you to get your priorities in order. Find out what is really important to you and place the highest value on it. Where your treasure is, so shall your heart be. In my last post I wrote a few of my goals for this year and I put God as my number one and family as my number two priorities. It only takes a second to tell someone you love them. You never know what tomorrow holds and tomorrow may be too late.
Love to all,
Holly
