We had some sad news this week ... my cousin Kim who is 47 passed away. He was an epiliptic and suffered with grand mal seizures his whole life. One of those seizures finally did him in. The hubby and I are driving home and the radio is talking about what would be the title of a biography about the lives of some of the famous people in the world. Now admitedly they are trying to be funny and picking all kinds of strange titles for some of the more eccentric famous people in the world. My husband asked me what would be the title of my biography and what popped to mind was a line from a song (it might be the title not sure) 'Lovin Every Minute of It'. Despite any whinning that I may do, or the struggles that I have faced, in reality my life has been blessed. One of my personal requirements this year is writing down 5 things to be grateful for everyday, it really makes you appreciate all the little things that make your life worthwhile. So Kim I am grateful that you have been in my life for the past 47 years, I am grateful for the opportunity to understand eplipsy and the impact it can have on life, I am grateful for the opportunity to see a person overcome a challenge like this, I am grateful for the opportunity to share my grief with others on my blog, and I am grateful that writing this allows me to grieve/cry for someone who is loved and will be missed.
