I don't really know what was going on with the sun tonight but I do know it was something special and threatening to your eyesight - clearly I am no Astronomer. The sun really was absurdly bright. Sunglasses required. After the deed was done and the spots faded from my eyesight, the sky was set on fire, making it a perfect moment to sit on the deck and swing a bit all while thinking about nothing, absolutely freaking nothing. It was glorious.

I'm OK. Seven years later.
It has been seven years since my dad passed away. And I’m OK.
The moment my dad died my world came to a screeching halt. The world fell from beneath my feet and at 15 years old, I had to rewrite all my
hopes and dreams. I was broken and felt like I would never be
able to pick up the pieces and put them back together again. 7 years later, those pieces are picked up and
I’m OK. A large part of me is still
missing and I will forever have a hole in my heart. Hearts break and crack but out of those
cracks can grow some of the most beautiful things. These seven things have grown out of the cracks in my heart over the past seven years:
1. Love and love
deeply with no regret or fear.
2. Only worry about
the life changing moments. Everything else
is just a story to tell.
3. Truly feel every
emotion you might encounter. No matter
how bad it may hurt.
4. Be in love with
your life. Every detail of it.
5. Amazing things
come from the things you are most afraid of.
6. Take more risks
than safe bets.
7. Surround yourself
with good and only good.
The large crack that is in my heart from my dad passing away
is something I love and cherish because these things have grown out of it. Seven years later I can celebrate his life,
not mourn over his death. I can laugh at
the memories and smile at the future. Death is sad, but life is amazing. Too amazing to waste on insignificant things, to live without love and not enjoy every second of everyday. He was amazing and I was lucky to have him
for those 15 years.
I love you Dad and I miss you more than ever before. Thank you for the strength, love and passion you have given to me. I hope I am making you proud from all the way down here. <3
