It's funny how life works out...
One minute, you're saying good-bye to a family member (rest in peace Grandma). Next minute (more specifically, a week later), you're saying hello to a new one (Hello Amber and Zipsie family!)
It's a reminder that every now and then, it's as if the Even Steven theory exists. Not to say a death is equivalent to bringing someone new into the family. Just that when something is lost, you may find a version of it somewhere else.
Or maybe it's just coincidence how the timing of the two works. It's probably just life at work. I really don't know what it is, but I do think life plays out in a tragically funny way sometimes.
For every loss that you experience in whatever sense of life (whether it be the passing of someone or just losing a job or the like), there is a potential gain right around the corner. We can't let loss blind us from this fact. I learned last year that some of the mistakes I made were meant to happen because they led me into a new life (new job, school, new friends, etc.) that I currently enjoy.
I guess saying all of this makes me sound like a fortune cookie or a motivational speaker, but screw it.
If you find yourself down - keep your head up and your eyes open. You never know what awaits next.
