My thoughts:)
Gratitude holds us together even when we are falling apart.
Ironically, gratitude's most powerful mysteries are often revealed when we are struggling.
When we stumble in the darkness, rage in anger, hurt feelings, hurl faith across the room, and give up on hope. While we cry ourselves to sleep, gratitude waits patiently to console us and reassure us that everything will be ok.
It's easy to be grateful when everything is going your way- when money's in the bank, you're in love, the birth of a new child, and you're healthy. But when you've lost the love of your life, when you don't know when the bills are going to be paid, if you're going to lose your home, and you've been diagnosed with a terrible disease, "thank you" usually isn't the phrase that immediately comes to your mind.
Just for today, and hopefully everyday, try not to think about what you have lost.
Think about all that you have and cherish it!
Harry always reminded me to be grateful for all that I have.
I will never forget that. I know I have said this before, but so many times we want more and more and more and don't stop and look at what we already have. Appreciate everything and especially every person in your life.
Harry was a kind and humble man. He was a quit man kind of like my step mother. I appreciate that. He was soft spoken and forgave others quickly. I never recall a time where I heard him yell. He was patient and loved my mother with all his heart. I love him for loving her and making her so happy. It's sad to see him pass away, but my mother will see him again and will hold a special place in her heart always! We will take good care of our mother for him.
So I want to say "Thank You" to my Father in Heaven for sending such a wonderful man into my mothers and our life.
Thank you Harry- We will always love and miss you
