What is true happiness? At the end of your life, can you say that you were truly happy and that you have no regrets? or is happiness just moments in your life that make you happy. It's just a question I ask - no hidden meaning behind it, just curious. I wonder at times if at the end of my life if I can say, I have no regrets I have lived a happy, good life. If at the moment, I don't think I can honestly say that, but at the end I would hope to be able to.
Isn't that what we all want is happiness? Doesn't that along with feeling loved and being loved and being in love, doesn't that fulfill your life and make it worth getting up in the morning? I believe in love and that love is all we need and I believe that having that feeling and being able to give love is what makes us happy. You can be the poorest man in the world but as long as you feel loved and have a great family - I believe you would be the richest man in the world.
Again, no hidden meanings - just a life question I suppose.
Dad looked tired today. Probably because all of the monkeys (grandkids) where there running wild. It's hard to have a quiet house when you have 4 boys running around, but luckily they were able to play outside a little bit. But he looked worn out so I am sure he is going to be hitting the sack soon. It's funny we never thought our family Sunday dinners were out of the ordinary but more and more people tell us that it is very special and they wish their family did it. Do it- life is too short not to. Mom and dad did have some old friends stop by last night that they haven't seen in years and mom said it was just like old times, that nothing has changed. She said it was a great visit. He is starting to eat/drink his shakes a little bit more and his acid reflux he said has gotten better a little bit, so just one step at a time right.
On a side note, if anyone has anything at all that they would like me to post on here, I would be more than happy to do it. It doesn't have to be just about dad or Uncle Wally, but any news you would like to share with the family. I know we have always talked about starting a family website, so we can just count this as one. So I don't mind, you can send pictures too - any story, none too small or too big!
Much love to all,
Dearest Michele- Thank you for being the glue that holds our family together right now. It is so great to go to the blog and find out the latest on how everyone is doing. Your honesty and candor help to put things into perspective. We continue to pray for all. Love, Aunt Diana and Uncle Tom
ReplyDeleteOur lesson in Sunday school last week was about how people respond differently at funerals...and why? The answer boils down to FAITH in God! If we all have faith in knowing that when we and/or our loved ones will go to heaven when we leave this earth, then a funeral should be a happy occasion! It is okay to grieve for our physical loss, but knowing that we are going HOME to heaven for eternity is comfort in itself.
ReplyDeleteThis website is an AWESOME display of our family's faith!! I get soo much joy in reading everyone's comments...and can feel the prayers working!!! Thank you Michele!
