My life as a jukebox

So, my life has a soundtrack and at any given time, there is a song that being made into a music video by what is going on in my life at the moment.

Lately...it's been In My Life by the Beatles. One of my all time favorite songs that seems to be stuck on repeat lately.

Saturday, one of the sweetest souls I've ever met passed away. We worked together, and basically, were co-workers, but she always went that extra mile in our conversations to make me feel like I was special and for that 20 minutes, I was the one she cared about most. She never failed to ask me about my family, or my now husband. She always asked about my wedding plans, what did my dress look like, how was I going to do my hair. She asked me about my honeymoon when I got back.

Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life, I love you more
In my life, I love you more

I will always remember our talks in the bathrooms, about life and love. About family and friends. One friend told me that when she called her to talk to her, she simply said "I've taken care of my family, I'm ready to go". Those words will stick with me, for an eternity I believe.

So take care of your family friends. Live your life with no regrets. When you get to the end of your journey, be able to say "I'm ready to go"

One soul is gone and our lives are changed. I hope my newborn nephew and cousin get a piece of the soul that has gone.

in my life, i love you more
