Tribute to my Grandpa 'Papaw'This is the reason, that I have had a reality check on what is important. People always say cherish every moment with people, because you dont know when it is going to be the last, and when all is fine, it seems cliche. When you loose someone so important to you. You realize that it is not. It puts everything in perspective, what is important is the ones who know you best and love you for who you are, flaws and all. The people who dont appreciate you, or critisize or chastize you for whatever their reasons in the grand scheme of things, no matter if it hurts or not... is unimportant.
Sometimes in life we get caught up with the impression aquaintences have of us, we give too much weight to what he says or she says. The only person that matters is you! Do you think you are a good person? Do you try your best to be the best person you can be? Do you love yourself? If you answer yes, then what others believe doesn't amt to a hill of beans. Dont ever let anyone lessen your value of yourself. You are important, you are loved, you are special, you are the only you that there is. Love you and don't sweat what anyone else thinks. Only you know your heart! Share your love and your heart with the ones that matter, your Mom, your Dad, Your husband, Your kids They are your legecy, they truely know your heart. I speak from experience, because as of late, I have let things and people get to me. Let them cause me to question myself. One of my favorite quotes "The only way someone can get to you, is if you let them" So don't! Stand strong, stay true to who you are, don't let people penetrate you negatively. (yes easier said than done) But when you waste time, analysing and worring over insignifigant people or things, you waste precious moments that could have been spent enjoying someone you love and when you turn around, they are gone and everything else doesnt matter... only that you didn't get to say goodbye. Love Always Raven PS Yes that is me dancing with my Pap at the end of the video, 10 years ago I had long blond hair and a tan... Go figure. |

i give them to you Raven, take heart- "all is well"...
Death is nothing at all
I am still I and you are still you.
Whatever we were to each other, that we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name
Speak to me in the easy way you always have, put no difference in your tone.
Wear no air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed.
Play, smile and think of me.
Let my name be ever the household word it was
Let it be spoken without effect, without the trace of a shadow.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was.
There is absolutely unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight.
I am but waiting for you, for an interval
Somewhere very near, just around the corner.
All is well.
