Today is a Better Day

We all have good days and we all have bad days, but what we should say is, “all days are good; some days are better.” Someone I know just lost her husband and that is her grief mantra. It really is important to remember that your loved one would want you to continue living even though they aren’t on earth to share life with you anymore. Live your life with purpose. Live your life with desire. Live your life with goodness. Live your life.

I am blessed to spend this day with people I love, people that bring happiness to my life, and people that loved and lost BJ too. Dillon is spending this holiday weekend with his cousins and his aunty; his daddy’s sister and he loves them dearly. I am spending the weekend with BJ’s Aunt Jenny, her kiddos, and just for an enhanced good time I brought my grandson Willy with me. It is joyful to spend time sharing good memories about BJ and making new memories without him, but always with him in our hearts. Tonight I get to share our latest family tradition with her. A tradition that BJ started on our trip to South Carolina, a few months before he died. As a thank you to the family we visited I wanted to make them a homemade spaghetti dinner. As I was cooking, BJ insisted we needed a side of bacon with the dinner. I will admit…I thought he was nuts but we cooked up some bacon to go with dinner anyway.  It has become a tradition with our family and now we are sharing that tradition with his Aunt Jenny…who looked at me like I was crazy when I started cooking the bacon as she was making the salad. :)

All days are good, some days are better. Today is a “better day”.
