A little lesson in life on the drive home...

-
So here is just the typical drive home...
Tonight we were on the way home and saw two cars chasing each other and I said they better stop or they will get a ticket for reckless driving or kill someone. Hence the question was posed from the back seat "what happens when you get a ticket?" So I went onto explain how you have to pay a fine and get a point on your drivers license which effects the cost of your insurance. "Insurance, what's that?" they ask. So I continue explaining how insurance works. Mason then replied "well do you have your insurance with Geico? Because they want to save people hundreds on car insurance"!! I died laughing. Then he says "Wow mom, why is life so complicated? You weren't kidding when you said nothing is for free!" Ahh, to see life through the eyes of a child.

I received a Friend Request from an old friend I grew up with in church and thus began the path that brought Jeff and I together. Now I have to admit, never in a million years did I imagine ...

 Grief. The realization that nothing can fix it, nothing can make it better except the grace and peace of God through time. And here's the thing- getting through enough time for it not to break your heart over and over again is a long way off.  My dad is gone and there is nothing that can bring him back. There is nothing that can erase the memory of the last few moments of life with him. Nothing that can stop the "if I had only known it was the last time..." thoughts running through my head. You think that maybe you've run out of tears when something so small like a Florida State football game and how much he would've loved it comes crashing through your heart and the tears flow again.  People keep asking "how are you" and while I know they mean well and am truly thankful for their concern and I say "I'm fine", the truth is a part of me will never be ok again.
