It’s safe to say that not a single
person in the family is “okay” right now. We all hurt immensely. My mom and
Sandy lost their soulmates. Morgan, Logan, and Farran lost their dads. Nana and
PawPaw lost their sons. And I lost my Big Dude. We can’t walk around acting
like everything is fine. There are places we can’t go without breaking down.
Songs we can’t hear. Movies we can’t watch. But we'll be okay.
Things
won’t always be perfect. You will experience setbacks. You’ll get your
heart-broken. You’ll lose someone you care about. And it will hurt. It’ll hurt
because it matters. Those people matter. Your pain matters. You’re allowed to
feel and you’re allowed to say “you know what, I’m not okay.” You are allowed
to be human.
“The pain that you’ve
been feeling can’t compare to the joy that’s coming.”
Romans 8:18
Losing you
has taught me that I don’t have to pretend I’m okay when I’m not.
Love, Bubba
