really, if you haven't learned
by now, that is life is short, then I might need to slap you in the face. I understand. It's a cliche saying. But honestly, my husband was only here 26 years. My FIL, 55. Those are both too young to die. To miss out on life. Sometimes I just want to shake my friends so hard, they get shaken baby syndrome {I know, that's nothing to joke about. Never shake a baby} . What more do you need to realize that you may be here right this second but possibly gone in morning? Tomorrow is not a guarantee. Stop living your lives with regrets, anger, denial, hatred. We can't do it over. We only get one shot at this. Do it right.

Amen amen amen amen amen. I know you saw my latest post, and honestly, this year I have learned soo much from your experince. To not live with regret, to overcome troubles, to live my life the best i can, to be the best i can and to live each day as if it were my last. No matter what troubles i am faced with, to learn from them and embrace them for they are what make me who i am and what will carry me to the next day, god forbid that i make it to that. xoxo.
Hi there - I've been following your blog for awhile now, I guess I should comment on this one. YOU NAILED IT with this post. I cannot imagine what it must have been like for you on that day in January, to have your world shaken and pulled out from underneath you. I recently lost my 22 year old nephew to a motorcycle accident and I'm still reeling from it all. To lose my husband and FIL - well, it just doesn't seem real. I just wanted to thank you for keeping up this blog and sharing your Monday memories with all of us in blogland. Know that you are making a difference in people's lives. Praying for you every day......
Yours in Christ:

I agree! Life is too short.
wonderfully put. i've followed your blog from a distance but had to comment and tell you what an amazing perspective you have.
I couldn't agree more.
amen!
Hi Erynn, I am the one that sent you an email a few weeks ago, thanks for your sweet reply. So now I don't feel so weird posting comments. :)
Anyways, I just simply wanted to say well said! Good post! I completely agree with you.
you nailed it!!!
I could go on and on and repeat pretty much everything that all the above commenters wrote because that's exactly how I feel! Awesome job with this post...We really do have to live and love life to the fullest as one moment could change it all! Thank you for keeping such an awesome blog! You truly are a wonderful woman!
Preach it, sista. :-)
I know this continues to sound cheesy and condescending, but... you continue to make me proud. Hugs.
Well said!!
I am sure a few of us could use a slap in the face from time to time to put things into prospective and what's really important in life.
W & R have a wonderful role model in their Mama:)
Life is short but sweet for certain... great advice, thank you!
Perfect! It's a tough lesson to try to live for today... one I learned well almost 6 years ago now. I still have my moments when I get caught up in what happened or what may happen, but I do my best to enjoy the moment and not let others put the regrets, doubts, etc. into my life. I just wish times like January 2009 and October 2003 didn't have to happen for others to learn that lesson. I know I've said it before, but you're an amazing and strong woman and a great role model for your kiddos. Hope to see you all again soon!
well said!
Amen. God bless you.
I agree 100%. I have learned not to take anything for granted, you never know when it could be taken away. I thank God every day for all that he has given me. I also pray for you and your family. I hope you are all doing well.
so true E! I'd feel the same abut my friends petty stuff if I had been what you had been thru ... I think it's great that you can provide some perspective ... life is def too short to be worrying about the small stuff!
Love your new layout!
My god...you are my hero. I can not imagine what it has been like for you.
