Memorial Day 2013

To all the families that have guardian angels this Memorial Day Weekend....Sending love and prayers to all of you that have touched my life: There's no sense in sugarcoating it-grief is a painful process, and it's natural to wish it would pass sooner than it does. But by hanging in there for the long haul, we gain lessons that would not have been possible if we had short-circuited the process. One lesson gained is the incredible resilience of the human spirit, even in the face of great hardship and loss. Another lesson learned is that when we give sorrow its due, sorrow returns the favor by giving us a precious gift-the assurance that we have indeed loved deeply in this lifetime-and that is, without a doubt, one of life's greatest achievements. -Daniel Grippo We cut fresh lilacs for our girls. It was so fun to be able to get the flowers for our home, it felt like it meant more. It was Max's ideas to light the candles, and I loved the idea, so cool! What great brothers they have. I am so grateful I will have all of my babies in my arms someday, Love them ALL!
