I had to go to another funeral today. One of my husband's cousins passed away last Friday night. She had been dealing with breast cancer for several years. She left behind a wonderful husband and two beautiful teenage daughters. She died two days before her 25th wedding anniversary and only one day before a family reunion they were planning to host at their cabin. How truly sad.
I think we all need to take time to stop, pause and enjoy the little moments in life. Take the time to make sure our loved ones know how we feel. After all, we are not promised tomorrow. We really do need to live each day like it could be our last. Between the two funerals I've gone to last week and today, I'm once again reminded to do my best to live and love intentionally.
