Celebrating Life

I am reading a great book called "Cold Tangerines-celebrating extraordinary nature of everyday life" by shauna niequist. It is a great book and I am pretty sure I will have more posts in the future about it, but last night I was reading and fell in love with a line from her book. After how I have been feeling about the passing of my friend's dad, the words spoke deep into my heart.

So here it is..."We can't stand in the way of death, but when it comes, we can stand in its face together, and celebrate life and celebrate family and celebrate having loved fiercely and expressively."

I want to love fiercely and expressively so that when death comes this quote can be true for those left behind!!
