Dear Gabriel,
My life is so blessed with the most amazing friends. Your Aunt Shauna came over last night to spend some time with us. You are going to love her more and more as you get older. Recently her father-in-law passed away. She was very close to him, practically her dad. We were talking about how the funeral went, how her week has been and everything involved. Then she said something that will stay with me for a while. She said, "You know I am tired of people saying this life is a trial. It is not. This life is a GIFT".
This life is a gift. She was reminded of it so potently because of being so close to the other side this last week. But most of all, it is important to feel that spiritual connection all the time so we can truly remember how much of a gift it is to really be here.
It is a gift to see, touch, smell, hear, love, give, think, learn, ponder, improve... to live! Looking through my spiritual eyes it becomes more and more evident to me how many gifts there are around me...truly how many tender mercies the Lord is always giving to me. Life truly is a gift.
I love you,
Your Mom
