My daughter Jacki arrived last night from Conway, Arkansas. The instant that she walked into the house, it felt alive. The furniture that we plopped into felt more comfortable, the house smelled like family and the laughter seemed louder and life was good.
Family has a way of putting life into perspective. The things that we worried about during the day do not seem as challenging, the grocery shopping that didn't get done, well, it will get done. The dirth kitchen floor - not a priority.
Lauren will walk into the doors today and the house will be alive - with her loud, infectious laugh, her entertaining ways and her love.
Katie will be missed - but her spirit will be here - circumstances do not allow her to be her.
Family...the way it was meant to be. The spark of life.
Enjoy every precious moment with them.
