Tragedy Plus Time Equals Comedy

I wanted to post something. I have plenty of feelings going out... many thoughts going through my head. And I need to share them.

So... let's start.

On Sunday, May 29th, I lost my Mother unexpectedly. She was one of my heroes. A nurse for over 25 years. She helped so many people. And honestly, I feel lost without her. I'm going to miss her smile. I'm going to miss her hugs. I'm going to miss the memories we still had yet to make. I'm going to miss her chili. I'm going to miss... her. I already do. And... no... I'm not religious. But... I believe she is looking over us.

I realize... now more than ever how important family is. And... that family has a much broader definition than what you know...

Proudly... I am a Lowe, I am a Parrigin, I am a Ballard, I am an Adams. But I'm also a Smith. I'm also a bit of a Garlen and a bit of Eva. A bit of Hayes. And I'm also a bit of Best Buy Blue... and T-Mobile Magenta. Those are my families. In some way, shape, or form. They all are.

We are all sums of those parts, whether we believe it... whether we know it... whether we understand it. It is true.

And I'm grateful for my family.

I need to do better showing it.

To my "family" that reads these blogs, I am temporarily suspending my posts. I need to. More so because my mind is very jumbled. And I have to get my mind right. But I will return. Mom would want me to do it. And I don't want to let her down.

I need time to get my heart back in it. To get the words back in it. I will get there.

Hopefully, the equation works. Tragedy Plus Time Equals Comedy. And we need to be funny again.

Until then, hold on to your family. Love them. Because you just never know.

To quote Sting(wrestler, not musician).

"This isn't Goodbye, it's just see you later."

And you will see me again.

Thank you for supporting me on here. And thank you for your understanding.
