Tuesday Truths – Tragedy

I started writing a post about things I have had to adjust to in my life….losing my dad at the age of 20, being diagnosed bipolar, moving across states…and there are more but all in all nothing I have experienced has been overly traumatic or horrific.

Now before you say anything understand that I know my situations and experiences are mine and that doesn’t discount them in any way shape or form. They are mine, I own them, I take responsibility for the ones I caused and to me they had their own ounce of trauma and horror in my life.

However; my problems, my situations, my experiences seem so minuscule when something like yesterday takes place.

My heart, thoughts, sympathy, prayers and love are with the families, victims and everyone affected by this tragedy.

Music Monday – Pink, it’s my new obsession!

 

 

 

Wordless Wednesday – Our Brittany

On March 8, 2013; just 14 months after being diagnosed, my cousin, Brittany Joan Stephens-Kinney lost her fight to cancer. Although her life was only 24 short years, she lived it to the fullest. Brittany was a very vivacious, kind hearted, full spirited woman and she gave cancer a good hard run for its money. She lives on through her son, Gabe, who has the same vivacious, kind hearted full spirit.

We miss you and love you, Britt! You will forever be in our hearts.

RIP sweet angel
