Remembrance!

Today was a day that made me think, that so many people in this world take their blessing for granted. I see so many people with family shut them out due to piety fighting and disagreement, people running them selves in the ground working, or people being just plan lazy to spend time with their families. I for one have, had the opportunity to realize and enjoy the blessing of my family. I am able to call my mother and tell her how much I love her, and that I am so grateful to have her. I have my children in my life and my teenagers love to go to the mall with me, and they even walk with me unashamed by me. My younger children still want my hugs and kisses. And my sister's and brothers call me often just to say hello and they love me, thus I do the same! Allah has made this thing called life easy for us, it's not complicated. The arguing, the fighting is what complicates families.

I am not sure why people think they have tomorrow to tell someone they love them, when that is furthest from the truth. I experience that first hand with the death of my daughter's father. He passed suddenly from an asthma attack. But 2 months before he passed, we had the best conversation of our lives, which entailed forgiving, letting go of past pains, and most of all remembrance of loving each other regardless of our future and past argument. I said to him everything I would need or want to say, and I had peace. When we laid him to rest, so many people cried about not being able to say goodbye or say just one more word. But I didn't I said it all 2 months before. And I laid him rest with knowing he loved me, and my daughter, and that he was at peace. So remember to tell and show the ones around you how much you love and care for them....before it's to late, or the argument is so complicated you both can not face each other again.

Love is easy! It's the fighting that is hard!

Until later!

LOVE and PEACE!
