In the blink of an eye

We all know how quickly life can change.  It is easy to put it in the back of our minds when life is easing along nicely without too many bumps.  Then, a big one hits and we are reminded just how precious each and every day should be.  I've recently lost someone in my life who was a huge part of my being.  It's still so raw and it still hurts a lot. 
 
I'm forced into "getting back into a routine" well, because with three little ones; no one has time to sit around.  It's in those quiet moments like today when all the kids were at school, my husband was at work and I was home with a few minutes of down time that I start to drift.  It doesn't take more than a split second for a memory to come to mind.  Then, the tears start flowing and I want so badly to pick up the phone.  Today I realized when I grabbed the phone to call, there would be no answer. 

 Losing someone you love changes your life forever.  I know in time it will get easier...unfortunately I am all too familiar with this scenario.  But for today, it is not easy and I miss you so much.
