Who wants to stay in bed all day and not move? That would be me! I was unaware of how hard this week would be. Grateful for good friends. My dear Hoopla Sister is dragging me (against my will) out of the house and rescuing me from myself. As you go about your day today, I thought maybe I would list ideas of how you can Remember Jeff.
These are some of his favorites:
Eat an apple (he fully believed it was the cure to all ailments)
Hang out with a good friend (Jeff had so many close friends)
Go for a walk, anywhere (he loved walking our neighborhood)
Watch one of his favorite movies: It's a Wonderful Life, Cinderella Man,
My Cousin Vinny
Read Psalm 112:1-9 (he loved this passage, it was read at the funeral)
Eat a Mounds candy bar
Connect with your family if it's been awhile (the Wenzel Clan was so important to him)
Grocery shop at Aldi's today, he was obsessed with this store
Do a toe-touch! (did you know he was a yell-leader at WSU, he could still do this)
Spend time with God (worshipping Him in music, quiet time, prayer)
Eat at Bella Luna....and order a Falafel (sp?) and hummus
Hug, hug, hug your kids and family
Go dancing (we loved dancing)
Karaoke (yes, Jeff had a great voice and he would drag me out to these places)
Meet someone new, reach out to someone in need
Hopefully you can find something on this list today to remember Jeff. He was all over the board in interests and talent. Or just come up with your own way to remember him. The biggest advice I believe Jeff would want give is to live life fully, the life God gave us. Not to squander our moments. Live fully with open hands, ready for whatever God asks of us.
Have a great day remembering the amazing man God gave us for 41 years. We are all blessed and better for the time spent here. We love you, your Princess.
