Movies...

One thing I can promise you, if you read bad news and are watching a movie about a Dog, you are going. to cry.

I am sitting her bawling watching A Dog's Purpose because I sure hated to see that Golden Retriever die. I will be crying for days I am sure.

Life is not like the movies, except when a. pet dies. Everyone is sad unless ou are heartless and well, we can't fix that.

Death of a child is not like the movies, yes, I have said this before. Its far from glamourous.

Sometimes, you can feel just as alone as a pet in a movie when no one is paying attention. Life isn't all rainbows and roses. It feels more like hurricanes and hail storms at times.

I do not do any birthday well. Not even mine. Just another milestone without my sweet Lezlie. I am sure it is supposed to be joyous but, I cannot get into the joyous mood. It isn't like the movies at all. You don't just get over death and celebrate birthdays etc. (unless you don't have much of a heart). But, I could just be in one of those nothing can make me feel okay moods too. That happens, trust me, a lot.

Regardless, life doesn't just stop because we grieving parents are having a bad day or moment, it continues on. We have to be strong but, we also have to know that these moments are definitely something expected. Remember, life isn't like a movie and theres not a quick fix for anything we are going through.

One thing I can promise is I still have my faith even though at times it feels like it is getting less and less.

Romans 10:17 "So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ."
