Hugs and Chocolate Chip Cookies

Last week, right after the funeral, my kids went to visit their dad. It was good for them to be away and not to see the endless days of crying. They came back last night and I've so enjoyed having them back at home! It's only been a week, but I'm beginning to feel like myself again. I don't know what the future holds. I'm not sure when I'll be able to hope and dream and look forward to tomorrow again. Right now, I'm so very aware of how precious each moment is with the ones that I love. Each day is a gift. I want to love more, laugh more, give more. Take nothing for granted. That's how I'm feeling today.
