Loss and Family

Losing a family member is one of the hardest parts of life and when you get that call the world stops in that moment.

In the last 12 months we have lost 3 people in our families, and made the trip back home to attend funerals and say goodbye. One of the hardest things about the military is being so far away when that call comes in but it also gives you lots of time to reflect while coming home.

The blessing in loss is getting all of the family together in one place to reminisce about your loved one and seeing people you haven't seen in a long time. Loss is also a time to take stock in your life and sometimes like in my case realizing that holding a grudge or not making enough time for family has to change.

I am so very thankful for all of the family I have in my life, the family I was born with and also the family i have gained over the years.

I am so BLESSED!
