In death we learn about life.

Faith tells you there is more, that the end isn't the end.
When the time comes to watch your loved one literally pass from this life to the next emotions can cloud your once decided thoughts on the matter.

Two days ago my grandfather passed away, no words can be compiled to express what he meant to my family and to anyone who had the pleasure of even just spending a day with him. Some people have an understanding and a joy about life, that was his legacy. We learn from the important figures in our lives, and if my grandfathers essence is any indication of the type of person I have the potential to be than I feel overjoyed for having lived part of this life with him.

Family is everything, the family you choose and those you don't choose. I believe that if we give our all to the one's we love that it will come back to you. My grandfather never spent a moment of his last weeks alone, I think that shows the type of person he was throughout his life.

When we come to the end of this life all that matters is love and family, the rest seems to wash away .... if we loose track of that during the busy years we may miss out on the true beauty of life. Hold on to what you love and make time for those who are important to you ..... live each moment.. each minute..... and know that there is so much more ....
