It all seems so trivial. After the family dispersed to their relative locations, coming back to work seems so trivial. It’s as though I’ve been given a new pair of glasses that put everything into perspective. Who cares how much money I make? Who cares what my job title is? What’s more important than having people in life who love you for who you are, and not for other fickle reasons? It seems that with the loss of someone who does love you truly, you suddenly take count of those who don’t. Or maybe take count of those who you don’t.
Really, the question is this: what can I do to care about those I truly love? How do I love them? What actions result as a result of my love for others?
Everything else outside of finding these answers seems trivial.

We can definitely relate to how you're feeling. Our entire world turned upside down after Ron's dad passed away last summer (it will be a year next month). Your priorities in life really seem to change direction and you realize what is most important to you! How are you and your family doing?
