Celebrating a Life


Today I celebrate the Life of an amazing man. Paul would have been 33 today.  It has been almost 4 months since he passed away.  I still have many days when my heart just aches and the tears come out of nowhere.                                                                                                                    
The way Paul treated me was truly Christ like. Not one time did he ever say anything negative about me. Not one time did he ever criticize me, raise his voice or talk disrespectful to me.  How fortunate I was to be able to share a love that so many people wish for in their lives.                                                             
I know that through trials and suffering we grow stronger...I feel myself getting stronger everyday. I have more patience, more compassion for others and a deeper, loving relationship with my Father in Heaven. Somedays, I simply just miss what we had...and long for the future we were planning.  But most days, I look forward to my happiness and smile at the memories we shared.                                                                                                                                                 
Happy Birthday Paul xoxo
A strong woman works out every day to keep her body in shape …                                                                                                                      but a woman of strength kneels in prayer to keep her soul in shape…
A strong woman isn’t afraid of anything …
but a woman of strength shows courage in the midst of her fear…
A strong woman won’t let anyone get the best of her …
but a woman of strength gives the best of her to everyone…
A strong woman makes mistakes and avoids the same in the future…
a woman of strength realizes life’s mistakes can also be God’s blessings and capitalizes on them…
A strong woman walks sure footedly …
but a woman of strength knows God will catch her when she falls…
A strong woman wears the look of confidence on her face …
but a woman of strength wears grace…
A strong woman has faith that she is strong enough for the journey …
but a woman of strength has faith that it is in the journey that she will become strong…
a strong woman is one who has had her heart broken time and time again and still has the strength to gather the pieces to create a new life for herself. Remember that no matter what pain you’ve been through, tears will dry, broken hearts will heal, and somewhere out there, there is a man waiting to love you.
