Today would be the 22nd birthday of my brother Jacob Matthew.
As a mother, my understanding of his death has been changed...The empathy I feel for my own mom having to grieve her infant son...and the impact his short life had on our family...its all so overwhelming.
Life is such a precious gift. To love and be loved is icing on the cake.
A friend has this quote on her blog:
"Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Forget about the one's who don't. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would most likely be worth it." - Michael Gartner
