When Tragedy strikes !
I have got to tell you all about something that happened this week ! As many of you know I have had an ongoing challenge with my brother in law who likes to call me fat, well I had to be bigger than that this week when his precious , sweet wife died on Sunday . She was the kind of person that you would want as a sister in law . She held my hand when I was in labor with my first child cuz my hubby was too tired and had to take a break . She came to chemotherapy with me when I went through cancer , she also made sure that everything was taken care of when I had a surgery that went terribly wrong ! She even told me stories about holding a gentlemen’s hand as he passed on to a better place because she said it was wrong for him to be alone at that time(she was a nurse). There were so many good things I could tell you about her , and the sad part is that she passed away at the age of 40 ! I am coming to grips with everything and my diet has been out of the window all this week , but She did teach me something in her passing is that everyday is a gift and the time we get to spend together is precious ! Never take anybody for granted , and remember to tell people “Thank you ” and really how much they mean to you ! She also taught me that sometimes the things you think you should be angry with a person for really seems insignificant in the end ! Always remember to kind and gentle because you never know when it may be the last words you say to someone ! As painful as it was to let her go , God knows best and made it so she didn’t have to suffer ! Sometimes when tragedy strikes you can see some sunshine peeking through those clouds ! so never give up is the message I am giving to you ! Thanks Chris, I will never forget you ! Kimmi
