I Go Back

I think that as humans one of the things that we are so truly blessed with is the ability to remember and reminisce on amazing memories!
Life gives you little moments that you can't help but smile. For instance one night while I was living in thatcher, my best friend/roommate and I randomly bought an artichoke at the store.  We spent the evening talking and eating on the front room floor.  I can't even count how many silly, ridiculous, and random things we did.
Next month will make 3 years since my sweet little brother T.C. passed away. Losing him would have been so much harder if I couldn't remember, remember who he was, the love he shared, the jokes he told, and all his talents.  Even though I miss him so very much, I am grateful everyday to remember so many wonderful times we shared.
Moments in life are so diverse. The moment we realize how much we are in love with an amazing man.  The moment we see our first baby and instantly know how perfect she is. The moment we learn how important spending time with the ones we love is.
I remember back to when we moved to Arizona in 2008, so many different feelings. Being nervous for change, excited for new opportunities, sad to leave old friends, and happy to make new one, these are just some of the feelings.  I was very glad to have a clean start, to come to a new place where not many people knew who I was. I wanted to be a better person with higher standards.
I am truly grateful that I can "remember". It brings so much peace and joy to my life.
