"If you want a happy ending, 
that depends, of course,
on where you stop your story"
-Orsen Welles-

Approaching 4 and a half years without Gaye and you would think 
that I would have learned something by now. 

There are many times I think about how my life has turned out and how much
different it would have been with Gaye at my side.
 Of course that line of thinking is a fool's errand that only causes
Pain, Sadness and Grief.

But then again, there have been instances where such 
beautiful, translucent  light has shown through,
that I thank God for the blessings of having experiences that  
never would have happened if Gaye's Physical Presence existed.

I have made a great deal of mistakes since Gaye's passing.
God, too many to count, for sure.
One thing I recently learned,
which you think that I would learned 4.5 years ago.

 I have learned that LOVE is something 
that should 
never, never, never 
be taken for granted.
When you find it:
Hold on to it...
Nurture it...
Express it...
Don't hold it back...

A lesson I will surely take to heart moving forward.
In this blog, I always talk about 
FAITH, HOPE and LOVE.
Somewhere, along the way, I took LOVE for granted.
Now I am counting on FAITH and HOPE to help me overcome 
my mistakes so I can experience LOVE once again.

"Tell me a story.....
What kind of story, child?
A story with a Happy Ending
There is no such thing in all the world.
As a happy ending?
As an ending.
-Jeanette Winterson-

There are times I have so much doubt that it truly scares me, 
but I am moving forward, 
I must have Faith 
I must have Hope

 My story is still being written....
