every little thing is gonna be alright



things have been looking up since my grandmother's funeral this past monday. i never thought a funeral would make me feel good, but strangely i feel like a tremendous weight has been lifted from my shoulders. we were living in limbo for almost two weeks as her funeral was twelve days after she passed away. i guess i don't do well living in limbo and needed the closure and finality that a funeral brings. i've been trying to spend as much time as i can with my sweet girl. if you are ever feeling down and out one of the best recipes is spending time with a small child, they can't help but make you laugh and make your heart smile.  i'm looking forward to catching up with all of you!

happy sunday,
amber

  1. Just catching up on...oh... 900 posts from the past week and this is the first thing I saw. It's as if you were talking to me. I did a double take, because I couldn't believe my eyes. I am so glad that you are doing better. It's so true about spending time with your little. B has helped me find my joy and kept alive my spirit of sunshine & cheer.

    Love you, miss you.

  2. Love and miss you too! We are getting together this week. If I have to come to your house and put you in my jogging stroller and push you up and over "the hill" I will do it! No excuses!

  3. Glad to hear everything is looking up! I can't imagine a better "cheerer upper" than S! : ) It's a little hard NOT to smile around her.

  4. Hi Amber,

    Happy to hear your feeling better! When I opened your blog and up popped that quote in cheerful yellow...I knew you were a little better. And you are so right...children can make us smile no matter what. Hope you have a nice day.
