I just wanted to let you all know how Ms. Amber was an inspiration to me. It's been what about 6months now and I still carry her mass card around. Maybe for selfish reasons, as it reminds me of how short life truly is.
Her passing was one of the main catalysts behind me deciding to go back to school part time after 11 years!
Our lives are meant to be lived to the fullest, never taken for granted, and although we all go through 'hard times' in the end everything works out. Some of us may question the whole "everything happens for a reason" saying however I beleive in it. We may never fully understand the why or the how, just know that there is a reason.
My girls have started going to the same daycare as Erik and I just have to say how proud Amber must be of the job her loving husband is doing with their son.
I have only seen Erik a few times now, but it hasn't taken me long to notice Amber's ever glowing presence in this little boy. She is there. It is absolutley amazing and for those of you who believe, I would even say it's a miracle. I have known him since he was just under a year and while I wasn't around all that much I am able to appreciate what a little gentleman he is becoming. So my hat is off to you Tee.
So to close this is what I would like each of you who view this to pay special attention to;
I knew...know Amber to be someone who always wanted to see the best from those she cared about. We all know that it's hard sometimes, but we have to try.
She would want to see each of us making the most of our lives. Are we? You all know, probably alot better than I do that she is watching down over each of us. So instead of sadness, let there be laughter. Instead of tears, let there be smiles. Instead of sorrow, let us be joyful.
I know I know this is ALOT easier said than done, but think about it. Life is too short to be down for too long. Instead let us make the most of what we have been given, more importantly, let's make her proud of each of us and that we are living in the physical, what she cannot.
Enough for now, I promise to try and post more often, if you'll have me...
