Today I found out that one of my husband's old friend has died and although I never was close with him I couldn't help but just ball my eyes out. He was so young and that always just makes it so much harder for me, and he left behind 4 children, and I couldn't help to think of my wonderful husband and how completely lost in this world I would be without him. I only have a few memories of my husband's friend---one that makes me laugh is Tim and I and our girls were swimming at our community pool and his friend started talking to Tim and asking him about his family then gestured over at me and asked who I was and Tim said "my wife" and his friend flip out in disbelief and said oh "I thought she was one of your kids". Tim laughed so hard and teased me for days. At first I couldn't even see how I could be mistaken for his daughter, but as I look back here I was doing cannon balls, back flips, and splashing and being a total goof, and I substantially lack womanly curves, so yeah in his defense I could possibly be seen as a child. I guess everyone still lives on in our memories, and this one always makes me smile....
So Tim rushed home at lunch to rescue me and he accidently left muddy footprints all over the floor. He apologies for the mess as I hug him goodbye and at that moment I have never been more grateful to have muddy footprints on the floor. Hold on to your loved ones just a little tighter today, laugh a little longer, kiss more, forget about the little things--they never matter, and love your heart out!
