All the Things Joni

Grief | Life | Loss | Love – All the Things

The Empty Chair

Today is a day to be thankful. There is ALWAYS something to be thankful for! However, this also a very sad day for many because someone will be missing. I always remember both. My heart for today is that we all remember what today is really about. Hug those you love and don’t leave things unspoken, for tomorrow is never promised. If you are one with a heavy heart because your person is missing, I will say a special prayer for you today. Again, there is always something to be thankful for, but that in now way negates the fact that you are missing someone, that there will be an empty chair.

Wishing all my friends and family a beautifully blessed day ♥️

        Here’s to anything that reminds us to be humble in our love and our hearts. Do you know why broken hearts feel so much? 💞 It’s because they are open. 🙏

    Have a holiday filled with peace, love and happiness!.. 🙂 “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.”― Dr. Seuss

    “There are things that we don’t want to happen but have to accept, things we don’t want to know but have to learn, people we can’t live without but have to let go.” ― Nancy Stephan
