I am back from a weekend spent with my mom, sisters, and some friends. It was so refreshing and much needed time with some of the most important people in my life. There was a point on Saturday when the joy I felt in my heart was spilling over. I felt light joy and sunshine was oozing out of my pores. I guess it just felt really good to be home and surrounded by beautiful people.

Before my friend and I left for Watkins, we needed to read a local magazine that featured a friend of ours on the cover. I have been waiting patiently for the magazine to be in the stores. That beautiful family on the front cover is my friend who lost her baby boy Beck shortly after we lost our Beckett. She was the one who saved me from spinning out of control in the grieving process. We have built a great friendship, brought together by tragedy and now the bond of our two little girls Piper and Liv who have brought us so much JOY. I attached the link to the article. Yes you might need a tissue, but you will be amazed at Tami's strength and see the goodness that came from great sadness. I am proud to have her as my friend.

You can pick up the magazine at any of our local grocery stores and various stores throughout town...as well as doctor's offices. I was interviewed for the article and was very honored to participate in a small way. Tami is such a wonderful person whom I look up to. I just feel blessed to have her in my (our) life.
