..:Week7:.. cherish ..:Project52:..

Never take the moments and the ones that you love for granted... This week is in memory of my grandpa who would have been celebrating his Birthday today. It is absolutely crazy how you can have someone in your life one moment and gone the next. This picture is of a music box that he gave me when I graduated from college and a picture of us that is on my nightstand. It is not the major things that I miss the most but the little ones. Some people find comfort in the possessions that a person once had, however, I think the real comfort comes in the memories. I can honestly say that hearing his voice on the other side of the phone, getting a hug when he came over, and more than anything the times when I could tell that he was proud of the person I was becoming are the worst to no longer have. I find comfort in the fact that I was able to have such a great role model and someone who loved me so much for the time that I did. So love the ones that you have and try to cherish even the simplest of moments because they really will be the ones that you will miss the most.
