Dedicated to our beloved Aunt Beth we lost

Dedicated to the one we lost. WE all love you and miss you. We are fine but we aren't. We make it through another day when in reality we feel like we can't face it. I think back on you and cry at the thoughts of never feeling your hug again. I love you and always will. It was not good bye I said when we buried your body it was until later that my heart soared at the thoughts of. Grieving is hard for all of us. It is different and hard for each of us and yet we go through alot of the same emotions. our hearts ache at the loss of future chats and quality times with you or just the loss of your overwhelming love in general. It gives us hope and even a small yet sincere smile to know you are with us in our hearts. when we go through the next stages and successes in our lives we will think on you and know that you are proud of us and giving us your love. I will think on you often. I know Jesus is taking good care of you and that you are happy and healthy now. It will be a long while before I feel like life has moved forward, I know more tears and heart ache will come but so will the good days when we remember the good times and look forward to those things we can do and know in our hearts that you are proud and we are glad that we knew you. hopefully we can learn from your life and share your beloved legacy with those around us. pass on stories we had of the time we shared with you and love you shared with us. those times even when you may have been angry or didn't understand our choices loved us and encouraged us any way. You were always there for us and hopefully we can now be there for eachother as we feel the loss of your departure for a better life. Even though we may not feel it now we have hope to know that everything will be okay and one day the hole in our hearts and lives wont seem as devastating. so until such a time as that I love you and we will meet again. To my dear Aunt Beth.

At the beginning with you

Hello world, 

My name is Sam. I have decided I am going to better myself in every way. I want to be a writer so I need to better my writing. As clech'e as it sounds my thought process to better myself started when I read Chuck Norris' standards for himself. I thought well I can do that. I used to think like that why not start again? I then saw more and more reasons why I should try to be better. God approves and wants us to treat our bodies as His temples, well how are we doing that if we are healthy and still don't like ourselves? When we look in the mirror every morning it shouldn't be with self hate it should be with the idea we are beautiful to someone and first and foremost it should be our own selves who think we are great. I believe we should become the people we want to be. If I don't like something i can change I change it. Or I try to see the good in the things i can't change. Either way I am starting to find ways to see myself better and work at being a better person. Who I love and am proud of.
