As I scrapped up the little bit of energy I had left after attending David's birthday dinner last night I dragged myself into work this AM.
The first action of the day was witnessing the police and fire department entering our communinity..the coroner to follow.
Money problems, domestic issues, stresses of life..who knows. At 29 years young, one of our residents passed away in his sleep last night, leaving behind his 3 year old daugher.
Now, I am only helping out at this property today so I did not ever get to meet this resident in person. It doesn't really matter though, a life is a life and loss is a reality check for us all.
Take a moment in your day today and think of 3 things you are most thankful for and smile. Each day is a gift, whether it's a bad day or a good day, we are just lucky for each day.
Today I am thankful for my mom, without her the Kim as you know her wouldn't exist (in every sense of the word)
Today I am thankful for my job, even though I am not at my "homeland" property, I am thankful to be in a beautiful office, sun shining, and paycheck cooking!
Today I am thankful for my kitties, they truly are the highlights of my days and nights.
I don't think I ever met him either and if I did I don't remember. It's definately sad though. My best friends friend killed himself the other day. I know how painful it is to lose a friend like that and you think you could have helped them. I am so thankful for my family (my son and husband and our pet monkey-- Anna the cockroach). I am also thankful for my job and all of our success and local 433. Finally I am thankful for the ability to move beyond our past and have a new life.
ReplyDeleteGoodness, how sad. :( 29 is so young and that poor little girl...I'm not sure if I can remember anything from age 3. I hope when she's older she'll still be able to have some good memories with her father.
ReplyDeleteWe almost lost Tibbies yesterday. He fell in the pool. :( THANK GOODNESS I was outside with him. I didn't SEE how it happened but I heard a little splash and turned around, saw him in the pool [in the shallow end by the steps but still TIBBIES IS IN THE FUCKING POOL!], freaked out and jumped in at the same time, and got him out. He was actually paddling right towards the steps when I got to him so I'm SO glad that he at least knew to go there, because he could have possibly gotten out, but still...so, so scary. I was crying for a good 5-6 hours yesterday just thinking what would have happened if I hadn't gotten to him in time.
So for myself, I'm thankful for my babies. My Tibbies, my sunshine, my baby. Baby and Lilly...my little girls. My princesses. And of course, our resident pain in the ass [but we wouldn't have her any other way!], Minnie.
I'm thankful too, for my Ma. What I would do without her...I have no idea.
I'm thankful for my big sis and the good people in my life who I can look up to and admire. I love you so much! xo
I can tell this new blog page is going to be great! Let's keep it going!
