As of Friday, April 1st, a year has passed since my dear cousin, Haleigh Marie Hudson, went to be with Jesus. The past year has been one of heartache, love, acknowledgment, and understanding.
In the beginning, there was heartache:
"Everyone is always askin me whats wrong... but i dont even think it makes any sense, its just...my heart hurts"
Through the hurt and anger, you have to take a step back and ask yourself why your angry...basically your angry and hurt because the one you love has been taken away...Why me, why her, why us.
But we don't realize it's not about us, it's about the love...
Love: The love she gave us, the love she showed us and the love she showed others...
Once we acknowledge that love we become aware of how much her life touched us and others that came in contact with her.
Haleigh was a special person. A person with a loving and caring heart who loved her parents, family and friends, and didn't have a mean bone in her body. A unique personality with awesome quirkiness that illuminated her face when she smiled.
After having to face such an overwhelming task of soul searching and trying to understand, I have come to this conclusion...
How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard
Goodbyes are not forever.
Goodbyes are not the end.
They simply mean I'll miss you
Until we meet again!
