Family...one of life's greatest blessings

For those who didn't have the opportunity to read my previous post I watched a movie called "About Time" There were many moments in the movie that triggered reactions of grief. But the moment that stung the most was unexpected.

In the later half of the movie, the main characters have 2 children. They show many scenes of the 4 of them. The kids were mostly shown when they were between the ages of 2 and 5. The love between the 4 of them was well portrayed. I started to miss that feeling...the feeling of being a family..the feeling of being 4. There is a certain special feeling when there is togetherness.

I always grieve twice. Then it occurred to me that my boys must miss that feeling too. I mostly think about being in the van together travelling to the cabin, holding Gord's hand and just having that moment when you feel so lucky to have all that you do, feeling so blessed. We always thought we had the best kids.

This ache hurts so much. I can't believe we will never be four again with Gord. I can't believe that I will never get to share that feeling of togetherness with him again. Family is so special. I always knew that but not like I know now.

Families....enjoy each other, enjoy your togetherness and appreciate all your blessings...because family is one of life's greatest blessings.
