My girls and I have come up with a lovely way to visit with\nmy parents now that they are both gone. It isn\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2t a sad moment, but rather a way\nto remind ourselves of the love and memories we so took for granted while\neveryone was still here. Today being their anniversary, we lit candles, wrote\nmessages, and set them out to float at the spot where we spread their ashes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I took these two pics this morning of the exact same scene\njust with a different focus. I was hoping to capture the story of how sometimes\nif we change the focus of how we reflect on life ( or those we have lost) that\nwe can develop a different appreciation of our time here. It is too easy to get\nsad and depressed about the life we once had or the people we shared that life\nwith. So I chose to focus on the happy memories of past love and a greater\nappreciation for the life I now have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u00a6 just wanted to share the thought with you and hope\nthat your new week is filled with happiness and the love of good friends and\nfamily!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
