Me Before You
Me Before You...
I had been dying to see this movie while also a little nervous because of where I am emotionally these days. It was beautiful, it was honest, it was love, it was tears...all bound within 2 hours of my life. The most beautiful message of the movie was that loving someone can alter you in such a way that you are no longer the same. I just had that thought the other day, before the movie, that I felt like my life fell in 3 stages, me before you, me with you and me after you.
The me before finding that love was solely focused on work and the advancement of my career. I worked sooooo much that I forgot what it was to live for me.
My life with Bryan gave a glimmer of what life should be with a balance to life and work. I was excited to leave the store, knowing I was going home to the love of my life. He reminded me what it was to relax, to love, to live and to just breathe. I thought I had a life before, but now looking back that wasn't living. Bryan saved me in ways that I couldn't even comprehend at the time. The only way I can describe it is that he brought me back to life and was a breath of fresh air that my heart and soul needed. I had prayed for so many years to find love and the Lord provided that in the most unexpected way.
Life after Bryan has been full of tears, of laughter, of much needed family time, of silent moments, pain as well as joy. Being near my family and Bryan's family has been the saving grace. The moments I wanted to give up, they wouldn't let me. They have done nothing but show the support and encouragement and absolute, unconditional love that I so desperately needed.
I am changed...I am changed by the love that Bryan never ceased to show me and our families have continued to bless me with. Love does not end with death but only continues to grow and continue to shape my life and I will carry it with me always and forever. As the next phase of my journey commences, I know that the Lord will provide and I have complete faith that His plan for me is better than the plan that I had for myself.
