Celebrating life through death

Death is so final. There are no more calls, visits, or quick messages. No, from one day to another, there is silence. Whether it was someone you saw daily, a friend far away, or family you saw less frequently. The sound of silence is deafening once they are gone.

Today I will be joining a funeral via a live stream of a close family member (One of the good things that came from Corona is being able to attend even though you are on a different continent)

Over the past few days, I have thought of her often. And, in my mind, I can still see her sitting and talking to me. The way her face looked when she laughed—even the sound of her voice.

Today, we will celebrate her life. In death, we, the people left behind, get a chance to celebrate her life. How amazing is it that she lived a life worthy of celebrating?

Her death made me want to ensure I live a life worth celebrating. I no longer wish to cruise through life, accepting what is. I want to live. I want to be in control of my destiny

Let's choose today to start celebrating life. To be thankful and happy for today. To celebrate the small thing that is today.

Embrace the person you love. Call the person you have been thinking about. Go buy the pair of shoes you have wanted to (just make sure u can afford it)

Go outside and breath the air. Look at life with new eyes. See the possibilities.

Choose life.
