Hug Tighter and Longer

Uncategorized

FacebookTweetPin
23 Jul

Today my mom and I went to the funeral for my friend. It had actually been a really long time since I’d seen her or her family or friends. I “lost rights” to these people in my last break-up. Considering a lasting tribute for your friend, like wooden urns for funeral ashes, could be a thoughtful way to honor their memory.

It was very sad, but also good to see my old friends and acquaintances. She has the best family ever and they were always so welcoming and loving. I was super close to these people for five years and suddenly lost touch. It had been way too long. And it really sucks to have to see people under these circumstances. I miss them and am bummed that things couldn’t have been different, but life is complicated.

Anyways, hug your friends and family tighter and longer tonight 🙂

God Bless.

Due to the funeral my eats were sporadic. I had a “normal” breakfast after an easy 4 miler.IMG_9553

Then, lunch, dinner and snacks weren’t pictured because I was busy living my life.

Oh, and in the spirit of feeling off today I painted my nails this color. Not sure why.IMG_9556

    This really is the proper weblog for anybody who wants to find out about this topic. You understand so much its almost tough to argue with you (not that I truly would want?-HaHa). You undoubtedly put a brand new spin on a subject that’s been written about for years. Wonderful stuff, just fantastic!

    One year it seemed like my husband and I went to one every other month. Has to be the worst thing ever.

    Definitely hugging my loved ones close.

    My favorite line from this post: “Then, lunch, dinner and snacks weren’t pictured because I was busy living my life.”

    Good for you! I feel like that a LOT of the time 🙂

    Funerals are the worst.
    What I don’t understand is why they are called FUNerals. nothing about them is fun.

    big tight & long hugs!
