Hello All, It's Friday.

Have a fabulous weekend. Go baby Go! 

Grief and love are conjoined. You don't get one without the other.- Nelson    There are losses that rearrange your world.  Deaths that change the way you see everything, grief that tears everything down, pain the transports you to an entirely different universe, even while everyone thinks nothing has really changed. - Devine   

Grief, I've learned is really just love.  It's all the love you want to give, but cannot.  All of that unspent love gathers in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in the hollow part of your chest.  Grief is just love with no place the go. - Anderson   People try to rush through grief, thinking it means they're clinging to loss. But grief is really about holding onto love.  That why it lingers because love does.  - Unknown    I've realized that suffering allows you to appreciate life more. 

The real gift isn't avoiding the pain-- its being here at all.  In this life, nothing is permanent — not joy, not sorrow, not even us.  But that's what makes life beautiful.- AlignUs   Stop waiting for that special day, celebrate today, wear those fancy clothes and love like there is no tomorrow.  Cause none of this is guaranteed. I love you all.
