celebrating life...

this has been a very difficult week for a family that has become extremely important to me over the last year; they lost two loved ones to cancer. as i spent this weekend with them & their extended family saying goodbye to the ones they have loved for so long i was reminded just how important it is tell the people in your life how much you appreciate them. the simple act of saying thank you, i love you, you are important to me and i value our friendship/ relationship can never be said enough.

with the passing of one life there also comes the entrance of new ones. i've been blessed to come to know two little bundles of joy this year, and i cannot get enough of their peaceful faces. i am thankful for them, their health and their happiness...
