A Great loss...

My Uncle, Steve Calabrese, passed away very unexpectedly one week ago today at the age of 41. As my tears were shed and heart ached for his family, I've pondered a lot about life and the blessings that I have. Living in various places over the past six years have been good for Nathan & me, but during times like these make it very difficult to be away from family.

Oh how I would love for nothing more than to wrap my arms around my aunt and tell her how much I love her. I can only imagine how much her heart is breaking right now. He left behind two very special children and I hope they can always remember just how much he truly loves them.

I'm grateful for all the people who have shown support. My grandmother is one of the strongest people I know. She absolutely amazes me by her strength and composer through this ordeal.

May we all remember just how precious life truly is and cherish every moment.
