Four years ago today, my little brothers best friend since they were little kids, Sam Islam, was laid to rest.
Today, Cj and I are in Rome, Georgia to attend the services of his 24 year old baby girl, Alexis.
I’m not particularly good at emotions. In fact, I’m abysmal at expressing them, feeling them and processing them.
This is hard. It’s so hard.
No mama should have to see their baby leave this world.
Grateful Sam was there with open arms to greet her.
Melissa, Sammy, Felicia, may the love and genuine close knittedness of your family always endure.
My goal is to be more like you all. To enjoy life more. Smile more. Have more memories together with mine. What I saw today was evidence of a life incredibly well lived.
All our love, for always.
