Six years ago today, I lost my dear sweet Grandfather aka Poppy. This man had an amazing way to make anything difficult actually bearable. I believe with all my heart and soul he made the world a better place just by being who he was on the inside. I was able to have the opportunity to witness first-hand how he interacted with others and to this day I try to mimic him in every way I can . I will never in a million years be the wonderful person he was, but I will continue to try until my dying day .

Even though this day does bring me much sadness, I know my Poppy would not want me to remain sad. I know that beyond a shadow of a doubt that my Poppy would want me to continue to live my life happily and do what I can to spread cheer and positivity as much as I can. With that said, the quote I am sharing with y’all means so much to me. I remember the day I told my Poppy I had been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and I remember how encouraging he was for me. I made a promise that day to never surrender to this unpredictable illness, but fight against it!

I believe we all live with many difficult times and somehow we manage to pull through it all. Of course it is not easy, but we do not really have a choice and we must refuse to give up! I do look forward to reading your thoughts on this quote and I know your thoughts will be very powerful!

I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by my site today. I always appreciate all of your support and encouragement. I hope you have a lovely start to the week and your week only gets better. Please never forget that I am always sending y’all LOTS of love, comfort, and many positive vibes!

Always, Alyssa
